Recently, a topic came up that made us feel extremely worried.
white lung.
In the past two days, the news of suffering from white lung due to infection with the new crown has been frequently searched.
Wuhan, Zhou Zhou, a 12-year-old boy, is one of them. One week after
was infected, Zhou Zhou had a high fever and paroxysmal cough.
Because they are afraid of cross-infection caused by going to the hospital, the parents insist on taking medicine at home for treatment.
Unexpectedly, even though the fever had subsided, the child's cough was still not relieved.
even worsened, vomiting and chest tightness appeared. The parents of
panicked and rushed to the doctor. After investigation, they found that the child had developed white lung.
Coincidentally, a big v doctor also issued an early warning. On the first day
returned to work, he encountered a white lung patient. According to his description, the patient is a 50-year-old male. After
became positive, his other symptoms were not obvious.
has no fever, no cough, and no body pain.
He felt that he could go to work now.
did not expect that on the fifth day after the sun, he suddenly passed out by the side of the road.
was sent to the emergency department, and the doctor saw that the lungs were riddled with holes. When
had the lowest blood oxygen saturation, it was only 86%.
Including some time ago, Fan Deng, a well-known media person, also issued an obituary.
His father also died of white lung caused by the new crown.
From juveniles, to middle-aged, and then to old people, there have been cases of white lung.
made netizens panic. Didn't
say that only the elderly and patients with underlying diseases are prone to develop severe illness? Why does
have so many white lungs now? How do you know if your parents have white lungs? Do I need to take it to the hospital for examination?
If you don't check, what if the timing of treatment is delayed?
Countless questions are lingering in everyone's mind...

5zFirst of all, before we panic, we should know what is white lung?
Normal human lungs are filled with air.
is therefore able to pass through X-rays, and the image appears to be a large area of black.
In patients with pneumonia, because of inflammation, the alveoli will be filled with exudate and inflammatory cells.
Light cannot pass through, and a large area of white area will be formed on the image.
This is what we call a white lung.
I have seen so many cases recently, does that mean that white lung is very common after yang?
is actually not. Clinically, white lung is a relatively serious manifestation of viral pneumonia.
does not mean that inflammation can be called white lung.
Generally speaking, only when the bilateral lung lesions reach more than 75%, the doctor will call it that.
That is to say, the appearance of white lung means that your condition has reached severe or even critical condition.
Most of the people are yang now, and the light and normal types are still the main ones.
The main symptoms are fever, cough, sore throat and so on.
According to Dr. Tong Zhaohui, a critical care expert, we can see the recent admissions to designated hospitals in Beijing.
Even among patients who need hospital treatment, the proportion of white lungs only accounts for about 3%.
If a normal person has a healthy immune system, the probability of getting white lung is very low.
However, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. The possibility of
cases like Zhou Zhou in Wuhan is not entirely impossible.
How do ordinary people know if they have white lung?
has an obvious performance, that is, tightness of air.
means shortness of breath, or even shortness of breath, and you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
But it is the elderly who really need to pay attention.
Especially those with serious underlying diseases, such as bronchial disease, lung cancer, and heart failure, should be especially careful.
For the elderly, the occurrence of white lung is often extremely dangerous.
is like Fan Deng's father, sometimes he is short of breath and lacks oxygen.
But they still can't feel it, they just feel a little confused.
willDelay the best treatment time.
Therefore, when the elderly are infected, it is very important to observe their physical condition at all times. Although
white lung can not be prevented, but it can be early warning.
usually has some signals two or three days ago.
When an elderly person has a fever, there are two points that we need to pay special attention to:
One is to observe his mental state, whether he is lethargic, loss of appetite, apathy, vomiting, etc.
The second is the change of blood oxygen. If it drops to 93 or even below 90, it should be sent to the doctor in time.
still has some symptoms, I put them below, you can also use them as a reference, and show them to the elderly at home.

It is worth mentioning that although white lung is dangerous, it is not an incurable disease. Dr.
said that the mortality rate of white lung is about 40%.
You don’t need to be overly afraid or even fearful.
Early detection and early treatment are the key.

But I don’t know if you have discovered that what is more serious than white lung is white lung anxiety. The most intuitive performance of
is that the oximeter was sold out again. Originally,
only sold about 100 fingertip oximeters.
has now been sold for a high price of thousands of yuan.
Some merchants have even introduced a reservation system, and they rush to buy in limited quantities every day.
In the past month, the daily average Baidu search index for oximeters was 8956, a year-on-year increase of 2238 times. The
oximeter seems to have become the next Internet celebrity after ibuprofen.
But is it really necessary for everyone to buy an oximeter?
From the clinical manifestations of white lung, we can actually see it.
If there are elderly people with serious underlying diseases at home, it is normal to have an oximeter.
Ordinary normal young people, there is absolutely no need to join in the fun.
It is precisely this group of people who have become the mainstream of rushing to buy oximeters.
is not just an oximeter, they even have to buy oxygen concentrators and ventilators.
It seems that at this stage, only by having enough of these devices can a sufficient sense of security be brought.
But this kind of behavior has brought us a kind of medical anxiety?
For us, the new crown does have too much uncertainty.
This kind of uncertainty is more of a fear of the unknown.
You don't know what will happen when you and your family have the sun.
Fear is human, but it shouldn't turn into "should stock up" anxiety.
used to be antipyretics, now it is the turn of the oximeter.
Some people feel that hoarding brings a sense of security, but in fact, for those who really need it, it is a preemption of resources.
In the past two days, there has been a very popular word called white lung myocardium.
White lung and myocarditis are the two hottest terms at the moment.
In the past, people fancied Yang, but now, everyone fantasizes that they have myocarditis.
Shen Chengxing, director of the Cardiology Department of Shanghai Sixth Hospital, shared a case.
A 32-year-old young man has turned negative, but he claims that he can't move his hands, his heart rate is 124, he urinates little and hemorrhages. After checking online,
became more and more convinced that he had "severe myocarditis" and his life would be in danger at any time. After
was checked, all his indicators were normal, but he took out the results of an online search and insisted that he met the symptoms of myocarditis and asked to be hospitalized.
made the doctor dumbfounded.
Shen Chengxing said that foreign studies have shown that the incidence of myocarditis among patients with new crowns is between 2‰ and 4‰, and most of them can heal on their own.
I also gave you a popular science on the criteria for judging myocarditis. One thing
can confirm is that if you are sick, the physical manifestations are obvious.
Even though the new crown is terrible, it needs to be taken seriously, but it is still not advisable to lose everything.
We can pass the test safely, not only by medicine, but by seeking medical treatment.
A positive attitude and stable emotions are also a kind of immunity.

In fact, since the peak of infection came, the mentality of many people has changed, including me.
And my biggest feeling is, don’t believe anyone’s words, your own feelings are the most important.
First of all, don't believe in authority.
Today this expert comes out to say a taboo, tomorrow that expert comes out to say a point of view.
was dazzled and even felt contradictory.
For this information, we can refer to it, but we don't have to pay too much attention to it.
After entering the course of the disease, the best expert who knows how to relieve the pain is yourself.
Secondly, don’t be superstitious about the news on the Internet.
Sometimes, when I see a few news about white lung myocarditis, I feel afraid and anxious.
However, on social media, people are more inclined to share "serious accidents".
All kinds of extreme information dominate the field of public opinion, and people often ignore the probability issues behind these extreme cases.
We all say that this is the toughest stage.
This kind of difficulty does not just refer to physical pain.
has a more psychological difficulty.
When we go from a few sporadic cases to hundreds of thousands of daily increases.
When we step out of normal life, we even see someone around us get seriously ill and die. How
responds to this sudden change, relieves anxiety, and releases pressure on himself has also become a big problem.
And what I want to say is, no matter what others say, please firmly believe in yourself.
trusts your body and loves you more than you think. Even if there is any danger,
will give you an early warning and release a signal.
Therefore, you must pay attention to your own feelings.
Please believe that only when we learn to listen and talk to our bodies on an equal footing is the beginning of healing our lives.
