October
It’s getting cooler in the morning and in the evening finally but still hot in the mid day and makes us sweating. Many people can’t recover tiredness of summer because of that environment. Recently I diagnose many patients who catch flu with stomachache. It’s because sudden cooler air of morning and of evening makes stomach weakened and leads vomiting and diarrhea. Also I still treat many coronavirus patients and heatstroke patients, too.
Autumn will come suddenly and will be end shortly, winter’ll come all of sudden, that’s what reported by this year’s long-range weather forecast. I have an impression the feeling of the air of autumn and spring is getting shorter than before, Japanese four seasons are changing to two seasons. Because of that change in environmental circumstance infectious disease epidemic timing and seasonal infection will change. We have to have an endeavor to keep our physical strength for surviving on the world of heat which is influenced by global worming, that’s the thing we can do.
Influenza vaccination starts from October, I recommend to take it as usual. Inactivated flu vaccine and nasal spray flu vaccine are available, take either one when you’re well.
We’re waiting for publicly funded RS virus vaccine because it cost very much, so unwillingly we stopped to vaccinate now, are also waiting for developing new lower cost one.
It’s in seasonal changes and allergic disease is increasing. If you have asthma, nasal inflammation or atopic dermatitis, consult with your doctor earlier. Try to get a light exercise and get resistance. It’s cooler at midnight and wear something warm to save you from a cold.
