Is it possible to cover the quilt and sweat after having a fever caused by the new coronavirus?
According to relevant media reports, on December 16, Zhou Jipu, chief physician of the Respiratory Department of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said:
"Sweating while covering the quilt is suitable for wind cold and cold , that is, the body is afraid of cold and does not sweat. At this time, you can cover it appropriately and you will sweat. The sweat will bring out a lot of heat, which will have the effect of It must have a cooling effect.
However, be sure not to cover it too blindly, especially when the body temperature is particularly high, such as above 39.5°C. At this time, heat dissipation is needed. If you cover it with a thick quilt, it will affect the heat dissipation and make the body temperature higher, but it will not achieve the antipyretic effect. "
Keep drinking a lot of water after infection?
Zhou Jipu said that it is good to increase the amount of water you drink, but do not drink too much water. When the total amount of water taken in by the body greatly exceeds the amount of water excreted, water is retained in the body, causing a decrease in plasma osmotic pressure and an increase in circulating blood volume. water intoxication will occur, also known as dilutional hyponatremia . Especially for patients with cardiovascular disease, patients with poor renal reserve, people with chronic renal insufficiency, or the elderly, they must control the amount of water they drink. If the water exceeds the limit of human metabolism, it will increase the burden on the kidneys. Generally speaking, it is safer to drink about two liters of warm water a day, drink it in moderation and drink it frequently (drink it every one and a half hours).
