Prevention is to limit sharing towels and personal items. Do not touch your eyes without washing them first. Wash your hands frequently with soap. Avoid crowded places if you have signs of pink eye.

Respiratory tract infection

Humid weather causes bacteria and viruses to thrive, increasing the risk of sore throat, bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, etc.

To prevent respiratory infections, keep your body warm, especially your neck, chest and legs. Avoid exposure to polluted environments and dust. Drink warm water and limit cold foods. Use an air purifier and keep your living space clean and airy.

Digestive diseases

Spring is also the season of strong growth of molds and bacteria. Food hygiene and safety issues from the selection of raw materials to the processing process, especially the issue of food preservation, if not ensured, can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases.

Doctors recommend eating cooked food and drinking boiled water, avoiding food of unknown origin. Keep your hands clean before eating and store food properly. Avoid eating raw food and fresh seafood if safety is not guaranteed.
