Pulmonologist recommends that people be careful with basic care to prevent attacks of rhinitis, asthma and bronchitis
According to Somar Meteorologia, rain returns this week in some states of Brazil. Despite the good news, the amount of water will not be enough to finish off dry weather. Thus, the pulmonologist Ciro Kirchenchtejn, the Oswaldo Cruz German Hospital, warns that patients with respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis, should redouble care.
- People more sensitive to dry weather need to use the prescribed medication to prevent seizures, in addition to ingest enough water to hydrate and, if necessary, to perform inhalation.
After over 30 days of drought, the rain arrived this morning (28) to the State Government and, according to meteorologists, São Paulo and Minas Gerais, should also receive rainfall in the coming hours. However, the pulmonologist said that for now the preventive methods should not be overlooked.
- While the relative humidity is below 20%, it is important to avoid the practice of outdoor sport, use saline nasal mucosa, which mimics the drops dripping tears in my eyes, especially contact lens wearers, and avoid environment closed with cigarette smoke.
On the use of air humidifier, Dr. Kirchenchtejn draws attention to some care unit to prevent adverse effect on health.
- The humidifier improves air humidity in small environment, but can not stay connected for 24 hours and needs a thorough maintenance to prevent the spread of bacteria. Furthermore, the apparatus is expensive and should be given priority only for patients highly sensitive to dry weather.
The doctor guides use drinking water in the humidifier and always wash the container and replace the liquid in case you get stopped for a long time.
Rain in Sao Paulo
According forecasting Somar Meteorologia, the water volume will not be high, but will serve to increase the relative humidity and disperse pollution. Even with the rain expected for today and tomorrow, the month of August should close with below average rainfall.
This year's winter is atypical characteristics, ie higher temperatures and very dry weather. Moreover, the lack of rain hinders the dispersion of pollutants, especially in cities like São Paulo, which produces a lot of smoke all the time. Last week, the relative humidity reached 10% in the city, equal to the level registered in the desert.
