Tell us something about what infection is.
An infection is a disease caused by harmful organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that enter the body and destroy the body's immune system. If it attacks a person or enters his body, those who live near him, or those who come in contact with him are also infected.
Infection is a terrible disease. There are many types of infections that are spread through the air. Due to which it is manifested in the form of epidemics. The infection attacks the tissues of the body, hindering the normal functioning of the body.
There are different types of infections. Some infections attack specific areas. Some infections are less serious like the flu. Some infections are more serious. For example, Covid-19 is a serious infection. The infection was so dangerous that it paralyzed the entire world.
Recently, another infection is acting as a threat to humans. One is monkeypox which originated from a monkey. Another infection is dengue fever which is caused by dengue mosquito.
Have you ever had an infection and how did you take care of yourself during that period?(Medication, isolation or hospitalization)
Alhamdulillah, I have never had a major infection. However, minor infections do occur occasionally. However, I do not take any infection lightly. Whenever an infection occurs, I try to isolate myself. Especially my clothes, towels are completely separated. .
I keep my distance as much as possible.
I try to clean my used clothes myself.
Alhamdulillah, I have not been affected by a major infection but I have seen the scary situation in the time of COVID-19.Covid19 is a real example of how an infection can tear apart a whole family, society.
Tell us something about whether precautions like hand hygiene, mask and isolation should be taken to avoid infection.
We get infected for various reasons. When an infection occurs, we follow various hygiene rules to prevent it. Apart from this, there are some hygiene rules that we can practice to keep the infection at bay like: -
- Hand wash:-
Follow hand hygiene rules. Always wash your hands and keep them clean. Hands should always be free of germs with soap handwash, We have to remember that germs that carry infection are mostly transmitted through hands. Because we do various things with our hands, we touch different items. These items have the possibility of having germs that can be infected. So always take precautions to reduce the impact of infection or avoid infection. Keep hands clean with septic soap.
Mask:-
We should always wear masks to protect ourselves from infection. Billions of infectious disease materials are constantly floating in our air. It contains toxic gases emitted from various factories. All these float in the air and enter the body through our mouths. It is very important for us to wear a mask to protect ourselves from these toxic materials. Wearing a mask can protect yourself from infection as well as keep your family healthy.Isolation: -
Even after taking all hygiene measures, we can get infected. Then we need isolation. Through isolation, we take care of the affected patients separately. This method is usually adopted when there is a major infection. For example, when an emergency situation such as tuberculosis, respiratory disease, or Covid-19 is created, the isolation method is adopted.
In this method, first care is taken to prevent the spread of infection from the patient. Then the aspect of his care is considered. Therefore, the isolation method also helps us to cure infection and maintain health.
