如何对付尘螨

1.去除地毯和厚重窗帘。

避免使用地毯、榻榻米等，改采用木质、瓷砖地板，以免造成藏污纳垢的死角，让尘螨有机可居；而厚重的窗帘布容易滋生尘螨，最好改以百叶窗或塑料遮板代替，若必须使用窗帘，也请常常拆下清洗。

  

2.避免绒毛玩具。

毛茸茸的绒毛玩具也是尘螨喜欢藏身之处，除了不要再购买之外，也最好丢弃家中原有的。

3.保持环境整洁。

灰尘中尘螨的含量惊人，避免尘螨附着滋生，一定要养成定期打扫的习惯，时时保持居家环境的清洁。   

4.室内避免饲养宠物。

家中如有饲养猫、狗等宠物，最好安置在户外，以免掉落的皮毛与排泄分泌物滋长尘螨，引发过敏。

5.加强通风。 

不通风的环境有助尘螨生存，居家环境最好定时开启窗户，促进空气对流，移除累积在室内的过敏原。

  

6.控制温度和湿度。

25℃~30℃、相对湿度60%~80%的黑暗空间是尘螨的最爱，而在相对湿度到达50%以下则无法生存，所以居家理想的湿度指标应控制在40~50%，春夏湿热季节最好使用除湿机以维持最佳的温湿度。

  

7.使用滤网和空气清净机。

季节转换时最容易引发过敏，除了温湿度的调节控制之外，最好在空调加装滤网或使用空气清净机，清除空气中的尘螨尸体与排泄物，以免在密闭的空气循环中飘散引发过敏。

8.善用阳光。 

尘螨有“见光死”的避光性，必须在光线所不及的黑暗地区才能生长。善用最好也最天然的杀螨剂，可以定期让家中的寝具或是布质面家具在阳光下曝晒（尘螨在高于50度的环境下无法生存），每次6小时以上效果会更好。

9.冲烫清洗。

尘螨为水溶性过敏原，对于家中的布质陈设以及衣物，定期采用水洗可以有效清除尘螨，洗涤时最好先以55℃以上的热水烫过，或是洗后热烘及熨烫处理，效果会更好。

10.使用防螨寝具。 

寝具是尘螨寄生的大本营，家人若有较严重的过敏患者，除了防螨招数要周到，最好解决之道还是选用防螨寝具，而防螨寝具的选择除了防螨效力之外，透气舒适性也不能忽视，如市面上某些以化剂淋膜或是两层贴合的产品，不仅让人闷热难眠，翻动时还会沙沙作响，选购防螨寝具时务必谨慎分辨。

咳嗽是一种常见的症状，轻则几天即愈，重则可达一个月以上，方能痊愈。因此要咳嗽受到控制，除了自身的体质，环境因素，还与我们的饮食有密切的关系。在咳嗽未愈期间注意饮食调理，可以收到事半功倍的效果。

 

一、忌寒凉食物

咳嗽时不宜吃冷饮或冰冻饮料。中医认为身体一旦受了寒，就会伤及人体的肺脏，而咳嗽大多是因肺部疾患引起的。此时如果再吃冷饮，就容易造成肺气闭塞，症状加重，日久不愈。不论是儿童还是成人，咳嗽多会伴有痰，痰的多少又跟脾有关。过多进食寒凉食物，还会伤及脾胃，造成脾的功能下降。

 

二、忌肥甘厚味

咳嗽其中一个因素是肺热引起，儿童尤其如此。日常饮食中多吃肥甘厚味会产生内热，加重咳嗽，且痰多粘稠，不易咳出。此外，油炸食物也不宜多吃。因为油炸食品会加重胃肠负担，滋生痰液，使咳嗽难以痊愈。

 

三、忌鱼腥虾蟹

咳嗽患者在进食鱼腥类食品后咳嗽会加重，这与腥味刺激呼吸管道和对鱼虾食品的蛋白过敏有关。尤其是对某些鱼、蛋过敏的成人或儿童更应注意避免这类食物。

 

四、忌甜酸食物

酸食会敛痰，使痰不易咳出，导致咳嗽难愈。多吃甜食会使炎症难以痊愈。

 

五、忌食用橘子类水果

许多人认为橘子是止咳化痰的，其实，橘皮确有止咳化痰的功效，但橘肉反而会生热生痰。橘子类水果包括了柚子、桔子、柑、橙等。

 

六、忌吃得太咸

吃得太咸易诱发咳嗽或使咳嗽加重。

 

七、忌花生、瓜子、巧克力等

上述食品含油脂较多，食后易滋生痰液，使咳嗽加重。

 

八、忌食用补品

不少家长会给体质虚弱的孩子服用补品，但孩子咳嗽未愈时应停服补品，以免使咳嗽难愈。
