At this time, the skin loses its natural moisture film, which exacerbates the symptoms of sensitive skin such as dry, stretched, stinging, redness, itching.
“If prolonged dehydration causes the skin to lack moisture, reduce elasticity and accelerate the aging process of the skin with manifestations such as dryness, dullness, lack of vitality,” the doctor said.
Sitting in the air conditioner a lot also leads to dry eyes, having to use eye drops.
This situation is common in office workers, who have a lot of contact with computers, phone screens.
You should only sit for 45 minutes then spend 5-10 minutes looking away for the eyes to rest.
Stroke Emergency Department, Central Geriatric Hospital , recommends that the temperature difference when going from the outside to the room to turn on the air conditioner, or vice versa, also causes the body not to react in time to the temperature, leading to sudden vasoconstriction and stupor.
Many cases of heat stroke, even stroke in at-risk groups such as the elderly, young children or workers working outdoors, are constantly exposed to sunlight.
“At this time, the body needs a transition period to cool down and gradually adapt to the temperature, not suddenly from hot to cold or vice versa,” the doctor said.
In addition, rooms using air conditioning are usually very closed, there is no well-ventilated place, so it is easy to accumulate dust, creating favorable conditions for bacteria and viruses; mold develops. This is the main cause of respiratory diseases including cough, sore throat, pneumonia, bronchitis …
The doctor added that currently the BA.5 strain of Omicron spreads outside the community, places where the air conditioner is regularly turned on, poor ventilation is also at high risk of being a “source of infection” with the virus.
As a result, residents still need to adhere to measures such as wearing masks, physical distancing, and getting vaccinated to protect themselves.
