What are the symptoms of air conditioning sickness? How to keep children away from air-conditioning sickness?

In the hot summer, many people can\’t live without air conditioning, but if they stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, it is easy to get air-conditioning disease. Air-conditioning sickness occurs because the room is highly airtight, has poor air flow, is small in air volume, does not open windows for a long time, and lacks sunlight…the humidity and temperature conditions in the room become a breeding ground for pathogenic factors, leading to mold, bacteria, viruses, etc. Various microorganisms multiply and parasitize on bedding, carpets, curtains, and furniture. When people stay in such an environment for a long time, firstly, they are easily infected with diseases caused by microorganisms; secondly, the temperature is set too low, and the temperature difference with the outdoor temperature is large, making it easy to catch a cold when entering and exiting. Symptoms of air-conditioning disease >>> Dizziness and headache. Staying in an air-conditioned room for too long and suddenly running outside can easily cause blood vessels to expand and contract due to heat and cold, leading to dizziness and headache symptoms >>> Dry skin, dry and itchy nose and throat. Common household air conditioners are not suitable for people with air-conditioning disease. The air only has temperature control, but no humidity control. In order to ensure the cooling effect, the air outlet and wind force of the air conditioner are generally very large, resulting in dry indoor air and easy dehydration of the skin. You may also experience symptoms such as dry nose and throat when you wake up in an air-conditioned room >>> Colds and heat colds The temperature difference between the air-conditioned room and the outside is large. In addition, the human body sweats more in summer. If you suddenly enter the air-conditioned room from the outside, the temperature difference will be short and sharp. Increasingly, children, the elderly and people with weak resistance are extremely prone to runny noses, heat colds, and colds >>> Nasal congestion and allergies. The air conditioner simply filters the air with a filter. If the filter is not cleaned for a long time, the air conditioner will It will become a \”super\” dirty air generator and a \”super\” allergen. If you happen to be a person prone to allergies or rhinitis, then staying in an air-conditioned room will cause long-term nasal congestion and skin allergies. I heard a colleague tell me a few days ago Said: \”My child has caught a cold these days, and my mother-in-law said it was caused by the air conditioner. Now my house doesn\’t turn on the air conditioner!\” As soon as I heard this, I knew that the air conditioner was going to take the blame again. More and more people just want to If you feel uncomfortable in the summer, just blame the air conditioner. So, whether children can use air conditioning in summer, then read on with questions. The real cause of \”air conditioning disease\” is actually that air conditioning is not the \”culprit\” of some diseases. The so-called \”air conditioning disease\” has other causes. Facial Paralysis Many parents have heard that blowing air conditioners for a long time can cause facial paralysis, but what is the reality? There are many causes of facial paralysis, the main causes are viral infection, ear infection, etc. Many patients with facial paralysis suffer from wind, cold, and lack of sleep. However, these are only causes of facial paralysis. The main reason is the decline of one\’s own immunity, which causes viral infection. Therefore, the air conditioner does not need to be used on its back. Respiratory Infections Many children will get \”heat colds\” in the summer. Parents think it is because the air conditioner is blowing too much, but this is not the case. Respiratory infections occur in all seasons and are not limited to seasons or air conditioning. Colds and respiratory infections are both caused by viruses. It would be too one-sided to put all the responsibility on the air conditioner. Wrong usage of air conditioners. In fact, you will not get sick if you use air conditioners. If you use air conditioners incorrectly, you will not get sick.You will get sick if you adjust the air conditioner. Now Chenma will talk about the wrong usage of air conditioner. Turning on the air conditioner for a long time without ventilation has become the norm in summer. Some families even turn on the air conditioner 24 hours a day without opening the windows or ventilating. In this case, the air-conditioned room will be like a \”big stuffy tank\”, and bacteria and viruses can easily spread in the air. If a child stays in this environment for a long time, the possibility of contracting the virus will increase, and babies with weak immunity will be more likely to get sick. Blowing directly at the air conditioner. Some children will run to the air conditioner and blow directly at it as soon as they enter an air-conditioned room, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling down quickly. The temperature of the air conditioner is quite different from the indoor temperature. If you blow it directly against it, you will easily catch a cold. Therefore, this method is not recommended by Chenma. Some parents insist on not turning on the air conditioner for their children. They are worried that their children will get sick and will not let their children turn on the air conditioner no matter how hot it is. In fact, this approach will make the children get other diseases. ① Prickly heat If a child sweats more in summer, the child will be more likely to develop prickly heat. Prickly heat is mostly caused by heat. The way to avoid getting prickly heat is to keep the skin cool. ② As the name suggests, summer heat syndrome is caused by heat. The higher the temperature, the higher the incidence rate. Heat syndrome will cause children to lose appetite, reduce sleep quality, and reduce resistance, making them more susceptible to illness. How to use air conditioners correctly Chenma mentioned some incorrect ways to use air conditioners before. Now I will summarize some correct methods for you. I hope it can help you. Clean the air conditioner regularly. Many people think that blowing the air conditioner will make them sick. In fact, the \”danger\” in the air conditioner is not the wind blowing out, but the dust and bacteria that have accumulated in the air conditioner for a long time. These bacteria are mixed in the air. How can children be healthy if they breathe them into their bodies? A few days ago, Chen Ma also saw a piece of news. The 37-year-old man in the news was infected with Legionella. This was related to not cleaning the air conditioner for a long time. Therefore, if your air conditioner has not been cleaned for a long time, remember to clean it before use. Don’t rush to turn on the air conditioner after entering the house. Turning on the air conditioner as soon as you enter the house has become a habit of many people, especially families with children. , as soon as the child gets home, he will directly pick up the remote control and turn on the air conditioner. When your child comes home from the outdoors and is sweating profusely, be sure not to turn on the air conditioner in a hurry. You can help your child wipe his body with a wet towel first, and then turn on the air conditioner after the sweat on his body has dried. Properly adjust the temperature and humidity. Many parents are greedy for coolness and feel that the temperature should be adjusted to be cooler when turning on the air conditioner, otherwise it will be a waste of electricity. For families with children, it is best to set the temperature of the air conditioner between 22°C and 26°C. If the child feels uncomfortable, the temperature can be slightly raised or lowered by 1°C to 2°C. In addition to adjusting the temperature, humidity is often an aspect that many parents ignore. Rooms that are air-conditioned for a long time will be drier. At this time, parents can prepare a basin of water or a humidifier in the room. Pay attention to the coverings in the air-conditioned room. What is the best thing in summer? Put a quilt in the air-conditioned room. Definitely one of them. However, this relatively \”cool\” method can be experienced occasionally by parents, and it is best not to let children try it. Covering a quilt in an air-conditioned room will cause the child to alternate between hot and cold, making it easier for the child to catch a cold.In an air-conditioned room, you can wear some thin cotton clothes for your child, and then cover your child with a thin blanket. Remember to especially protect your baby\’s belly ~ Make good use of the timer function. As Chenma said earlier, although the air conditioner Okay, but it can\’t be left open 24 hours a day. Parents can make good use of the timer function of the air conditioner and set it for an hour before going to bed. In this way, it can not only help adults and children fall asleep, but also prevent the hands and feet from getting cold due to the air conditioner being blown for a long time. Regarding how to use air conditioners, Chenma summarized the three don’ts and five do’s. Parents can take out a notebook and write them down. There is nothing wrong with using air conditioners, but it is wrong to use the wrong air conditioners. After listening to what Chenma said, do you already know something about how to use air conditioners? Then quickly use these correct ways to use air conditioners and spend a \”cool\” summer with your children~
