There are more and more people infected around us. Although prevention and control has been relaxed, we must not "relax" ourselves, because the feeling of infection is really uncomfortable. In addition, is it difficult to get infected again after being infected once? The answer is probably no.
Three types of people should be careful!
Regarding secondary infection , Wan Mobin, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Shanghai Changhai Hospital, once emphasized in an interview:
The risk of reinfection and symptoms after infection depend on a variety of complex factors, including changes in variants, vaccination status, and previous physical conditions.
Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Beijing You'an Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, believes:
The hundreds of sub-branches of the current Omicron variant are all "close relatives". When the antibody level is relatively high, the body can still protect the mutant strain with less obvious mutation.
It is generally believed that people with normal immunity will not be infected again within 3 to 6 months.
Therefore, if a family member is infected with the same strain, the person who turns negative first takes care of the family member who is still sick, and will not be infected again.
But there are indeed three types of people in life who are more likely to be infected repeatedly, including the elderly, people with underlying diseases, and people with poor immunity!
These groups of people are not only prone to repeated infections, but may also be at risk of severe illness!
How to prevent secondary infection?
The answer is simple: don’t relax your protection!
It is still necessary to strengthen the awareness of self-protection after confirmed COVID-19 patients are discharged from hospital and asymptomatic infected persons are released from isolation.
Get vaccinated, wear a mask, maintain a social distance of 1 meter, avoid crowded and poorly ventilated indoor spaces, and wash your hands as often as possible! These seemingly clichéd methods are actually the most valuable and effective experiences gained in the past few years! Also, you must choose a different type of vaccine strain for the fourth shot, otherwise the value of the vaccine will be greatly reduced.
In addition, in daily life, we should also increase nutrition, especially increase the intake of protein , insist on exercising, ensure a good mentality, and improve the body's immunity.
Use traditional Chinese medicine preventive methods quickly!
On December 10, 2022, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Disease Prevention and Control Expert Committee formulated the “Guidelines for Home Traditional Chinese Medicine Intervention for People Infected with the New Coronavirus” and provided prevention plans, including various prevention methods such as tea substitutes, disease-preventing medicated diets, and acupoint massage.

9 grams of raw astragalus, 5 grams of honeysuckle, and 3 grams of patchouli. Take one dose per day, soak in boiling water and drink frequently instead of tea. Suitable for preventive use by the general population.
5 grams each time, three times a day. It is suitable for people who are prone to colds due to physical weakness, spontaneous sweating and bad winds to take it for prevention.

During the kneading process, drive the subcutaneous tissue to move to the extent that you feel soreness. There should be no friction between your fingers and the skin.
Eat in moderation
Eat three meals a day regularly. The diet should be light and easy to digest, with a variety of foods. Ensure the intake of cereals, high-quality protein foods, fresh vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water.
If you have symptoms such as loss of appetite, bloating, constipation, etc., you can use dual-purpose food for auxiliary treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as radish, yam, barley, patchouli, chrysanthemum, lotus leaf, loofah, winter melon, etc.
Medicinal diet: Tremella Sydney lily soup
Composition: Tremella, Sydney, lily , rock sugar.
Usage: Soak the white fungus in warm water for 20 minutes, remove the roots and tear the soaked white fungus into small pieces. Peel and core the pears and cut into small pieces. Break the lily into small pieces. Put all the raw materials into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. When the soup in the pot is slightly thickened, turn up the heat and add an appropriate amount of rock sugar. When the rock sugar melts, take it out of the pot. It can be eaten warm or cold. Serve three times a week.
Have a regular
daily routine, sleep at night and get up early to ensure adequate sleep. Adapt to climate changes, adjust clothing and indoor temperature in a timely manner, and pay attention to cold protection and solar term health care. Crowd gathering places should be avoided.
Moderate work and rest
After the symptoms disappear, you can use traditional Chinese medicine exercises appropriately, or choose an exercise method that suits you according to your personal conditions. However, you must be vigilant, especially for at least one month after infection, you must not engage in strenuous exercise! ! In recent days, there have been cases of people contracting myocarditis after masturbating and dying of high fever and vomiting blood after playing badminton! So, this is definitely something to keep in mind!
Smooth emotions
A good mood is equal to good immunity . Maintaining a comfortable and happy mood can relax our body's Qi, allowing it to flow up and down and vent freely. However, qi stagnation means stagnation, and qi stagnation leads to stasis. Over time, the body will develop a host of minor ailments. Therefore, even during the current epidemic, we must pay attention to emotional catharsis.
