Be careful of respiratory infectious diseases that are prevalent right now!

Social
Even after the beginning of autumn, the heat is not letting up and the sweltering heat continues. Along with the heat, various respiratory infectious diseases are causing concern. In addition to the persistently prevalent COVID-19, various respiratory infectious diseases such as whooping cough and pneumonia are also prevalent.

Since COVID-19 was declared an endemic in June last year, the number of infected people seemed to be decreasing, but recently, as the summer entered, the number of infected people increased rapidly again, leading to many people visiting the hospital.

Due to this surge in COVID-19, we are experiencing a shortage of masks, diagnostic kits, and treatments. It is presumed that respiratory infectious diseases have become prevalent recently, coinciding with the summer vacation season, and the speed of transmission has been faster than before.

Due to this surge in COVID-19, we are experiencing a shortage of masks, diagnostic kits, and treatments. It is presumed that respiratory infectious diseases have become prevalent recently, coinciding with the summer vacation season, and the speed of transmission has been faster than before.

Since it is currently in the early stages of the trend, it is expected that it will continue and will continue to be popular until fall and winter.


Today, I will tell you about precautions against respiratory
infections that are currently prevalent.
First

Quarantine and health authorities in emergency due to respiratory infectious disease epidemic

Recently, respiratory infectious diseases such as whooping cough, pneumonia, and COVID-19 are spreading rapidly, so much so that quarantine and health authorities are paying close attention. Once infected, respiratory infectious diseases do not come and go like a cold, so we need to be more careful because they can affect lung function. There is a risk of even MERS being introduced, so we need to be even more careful about respiratory infectious diseases this summer.

Respiratory infectious diseases often weaken lung function and cause aftereffects later. Even after complete recovery, there are cases where lung function is partially damaged and only a part of the lung can be used. There are many cases in which part of lung function is damaged due to COVID-19.

In addition to coronavirus, similar cases can be found in various respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, and in the case of MERS, it is one of the most fatal respiratory diseases, with a fatality rate of over 40%.

As various respiratory diseases are currently prevalent, it is important to know how to prepare for them and the symptoms of each respiratory disease, and when symptoms appear, visit the hospital quickly to receive treatment.

Second

Prepare in advance for COVID-19, pneumonia, whooping cough, MERS and other respiratory infectious diseases.

Symptoms of COVID-19 mainly include fever, cough, difficulty breathing, fatigue, and sore throat. Because it is accompanied by frequent coughing, it is often recognized quickly and self-diagnosed. However, most of the currently prevalent respiratory infectious diseases have similar symptoms, so it is important to visit a hospital and receive an accurate diagnosis.

It is important to visit the hospital quickly and receive treatment, but it is most important to prevent infection before it occurs. First of all, it is most important to wash your hands thoroughly when going out and returning, and you must wear a mask when going out.

In addition, it is important to prepare a self-kit in advance and if you have any symptoms that suggest you may have the disease, perform a self-diagnosis immediately and visit the hospital or visit the hospital quickly to check for symptoms and receive treatment.

Recently, the infection rate in children as well as in adults has increased significantly, so it is important to stock up on necessities such as masks and self-diagnosis kits before the end of vacation.

Third

Wearing a mask is essential to prevent respiratory infections.

Recently, respiratory infectious diseases are spreading very quickly and the infection rate is high, so you must prepare in advance. As always, wearing a mask is most important to prevent infection, and you should make it a habit to wear a mask when going out.

Since respiratory infectious diseases are mainly transmitted through droplets, wearing a mask plays a very important role. When wearing a mask, you should not wear just any mask and you must check each one carefully.

If the mask does not completely remove impurities during the manufacturing process and various chemicals are used, you may inhale the carcinogens while wearing the mask, which may lead to the possibility of inhaling carcinogens right away, so you may not be able to just not use it. You must carefully research the masks your family uses before purchasing them.

The Synotex mask is an additive-free mask and is a safe mask that has been tested for non-detection of organic compounds. This additive-free mask causes little skin irritation, so it can be used safely even by children or people with sensitive skin. It is a safe and effective mask that has also been certified by the World Atopy Association and the Korea Fine Dust Association.

In addition, Synotex masks, a specialized filter company with 38 years of experience, block even the smallest particles through 300-nano pores, and because ePTFE filters are ultra-finely processed with a size of only 0.1 to 0.3 µm, they show a blocking power that is completely different from other masks.

The patented design makes it comfortable on the ears even when worn for long periods of time, and the breathing function has been improved by 20%, allowing long-term use without discomfort while breathing. We hope you always be careful of fine dust and yellow dust in the spring and have a happy spring day with the Synotex mask!
