Although it seems to be a little inappropriate to talk to everyone about drugs and lifesaving in a festive atmosphere, but to be honest, the more festive the holidays in the emergency department of the hospital will be busier, because in the holidays, it is indispensable to eat, drink and have fun, many people are happy to ignore the health of the body, especially the elderly, often at this time more likely to get sick, if it is a common cold This small disease is still good, but sometimes some acute and critical diseases are likely to threaten life in a short period of time, such as acute myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease angina attack, etc.
Therefore, the doctor reminds: The Spring Festival is coming, prepare the following 5 kinds of family emergency medicines, and save lives at critical moments. Warm reminder: Due to the different physical conditions of each family member, the following list of emergency medicines is for reference only.
5 kinds of family emergency medicine, can save lives at critical moments
1. Cold medicine
Although the common cold is a self-limited disease, as long as you drink more water and rest more, you can usually heal yourself in a few days, but some patients have particularly serious cold symptoms, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, sore throat, fatigue, etc., then you have to take cold medicine to relieve the symptoms. If carried hard, sometimes the disease may progress to cause serious illnesses such as lung infections.
Most of the cold medicines currently on the market are over-the-counter, that is, they can be purchased without a doctor's prescription, and most of them are compound preparations, which may contain antipyretic and analgesic paracetamol, which can relieve symptoms such as fever and headache; and antihistamine drugs chlorobenem maleate or diphenhydramine, which can relieve runny nose and sneezing symptoms, or pseudoephedrine, can relieve nasal congestion symptoms. When preparing or taking it, please recognize the ingredients of cold medicines and avoid the combination of several cold medicines that cause duplicate ingredients.
Of course, here must be reminded: if it is an epidemic area, there are cold symptoms, especially friends with fever, you need to be vigilant about the possibility of new crown virus infection, go to the fever clinic of the nearby hospital for nucleic acid testing, in this case, this move is a wise choice.
2. Stomach medicine
