Just when the epidemic in our country is in a very severe moment, the National Health Commission has issued 20 measures to optimize epidemic prevention and control, bringing new atmosphere to my country's epidemic prevention and control, and also giving everyone the hope of victory in epidemic prevention and control!
These changes indicate that small steps have begun to be relaxed in epidemic prevention and control. First, shorten the quarantine period, second, no longer determine the close contact, third, narrow the scope of blockade, fourth, tiered diagnosis and treatment , and fifth, reserve medical resources and guarantee materials. The first three are proactively relaxing control, which can be said to be the prelude to orderly relaxation!
gradual relaxation does not mean lying flat
Many people are afraid that the country will gradually relax and change its epidemic prevention policies will lead to the consequences of leaving fate and slack evasion. In fact, on the contrary, gradual relaxation indicates that we must get up to fight, from blocking to loosening, not escaping, but facing directly!
virus will not disappear out of thin air, and confirmed cases and infected people are still increasing. When the battle begins, what we need to do is prepare more weapons and prepare more food and grass. So what are our weapons to defeat the virus? It is vaccine , it is a drug, a high-quality medical resource, a strict protection for each of us and our own strong immune system. Now we should all be clear-headed that once we gradually relax, we must protect ourselves and our families and make sufficient material preparations. What preparations should you make for drugs in
?
The following 4 drugs can play an important role or even save lives at critical moments.
1) The first type: new crown oral medicine
my country has currently launched the new crown oral medicine nermatvir tablets/ritonavir tablets combined packaging. It can reduce the mortality rate for patients infected with new crown , but it is expensive, 2,300 yuan per box, and it is not easy to buy prescription drugs. However, you can prepare some Chinese patent medicine granules or capsules, which can be used as regular medicines at home.
2) The second type: cold medicine
Most of the colds are caused by viral infection, mostly self-limiting disease , but using drugs can relieve symptoms and make you more comfortable. For example, acetaminophen or ibuprofen can reduce fever and relieve acute and chronic pain such as headache, joint pain, muscle pain, etc. Pseudoephedrine can relieve nasal mucosa congestion and relieve nasal congestion symptoms.
dextromethorphan can relieve cough, ambroxol or acetylcysteine can resolve phlegm, chlorphenamine or diphenhydramine can relieve nasal itch, for the convenience of taking you can choose compound preparations for cold medicines, such as Tylenol, Xinkontech, baifuning and other compound preparations.
Colds often have fevers, so it is very necessary to prepare antipyretic ibuprofen, children's antipyretic ibuprofen or acetaminophen suspension.
3) The third type: chronic disease drugs and first aid drugs
If you have a history of chronic diseases such as hypertension , diabetes , coronary heart disease , chronic stomach disease , constipation and diarrhea, it is best to prepare enough medicines you often take for one month. If you encounter an epidemic, there are medicines to take. If the medical history is long and older, acute diseases are very likely to occur, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, , etc., you can prepare a small amount of first aid drugs, such as nitroglycerin tablets and aspirin . However, in this case, it is recommended to call 120 first, and it is safer to determine the condition under the remote guidance of the doctor before taking it.
4) The fourth type: Trauma medication and topical disinfection drugs
Bumping and burning are common things that elderly and children at home. Prepare some Yunnan Baiyao spray, moist burn ointment, erythromycin ointment, Futalin cream, etc. at home to deal with these emergencies in a timely manner. At the same time, prepare some alcohol , iodine vapour, cotton swab, band-aid patch, saline, etc. to treat some minor wounds.
Summary
Therefore, I remind everyone that no matter how the epidemic changes, it is very important to prepare enough appropriate medicine for your family while taking personal protection. If you encounter an emergency, you can take first aid medicine while calling 120 emergency phone to relieve the condition and even help your life. Please take the medicine according to the instructions. Do not increase the dosage or change the frequency of the dosage.
