Wearing a bad mask to infect the respiratory tract

Respiratory experts say that many patients with cough are

To protect against the cold and prevent diseases, masks have become a personal touch for many people. However, the reporter learned from some hospitals in the island city yesterday that respiratory specialists have treated many patients who have suffered from cough due to long-term use of poor quality masks or incorrect wearing methods. The expert reminded that masks have a certain filtering effect on the air entering the lungs, but the choice and use of masks must be used with caution. If the masks are not used properly, not only will they not provide protection, but they will “get out” of the disease.

"We wanted to put on a mask for the child to prevent the flu, but it caused a cough." The citizen Kim explained that because the child in junior high school suspected that the gauze mask she had bought was ugly, she purchased a "fancy" dress at a clothing stall. Masks are worn every day. A few days ago, the child felt itching from time to time and began to cough. Yesterday, Ms. Jin took her child for medical treatment. Doctors analyzed that the fancy surface of the mask is likely to be chemically printed, and harmful substances in the dye may enter the body through the respiratory system.

Tong Huaping, director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the East Hospital of the Municipal Hospital, reminds the public that some cartoon masks are poor quality products that will not only fail to prevent the virus but may even cause respiratory discomfort. The public is reminded to go to hospitals and pharmacies to purchase those qualified regular manufacturers. Masks produced.

Tang Huaping also reminded the public to cover most of the area under the mouth, nose and eyelids when wearing masks. The edges of the masks should be tightly attached to the face to reduce the gap, so as to play a protective role. In addition, some people are afraid of being cold or afraid of a cold. In response, he reminded that wearing a mask for a long time will make the nasal mucosa fragile and lose its original physiological function. In public places where many people do not circulate in air, wearing masks can block fine particles such as bacteria to a certain extent. In places where crowds are not crowded, masks should be removed to breathe fresh air.
