How to do with beriberi? Pay attention to foot hygiene

First, cut off the source of infection. Try not to share slippers and towels with people with beriberi. And they don't have to touch the things they've used, to avoid contact with fungi from the source. Reduce the chance of infection. It can not be avoided, such as family members infected, to do a good job of disinfection, sterilization work. Under normal circumstances, sun exposure can kill fungi on clothes, boiling water is better.

So once you get beriberi, you should pay special attention to the health of the feet, isolate the opportunity of beriberi to expand the area of infection. When ancient people wore cloth shoes, they didn't hear that beriberi was so serious. Now the air permeability of sports shoes is a problem.

And for different symptoms, we must pay attention to the difference in medication, not arbitrary medication, will lead to more serious consequences. For mild symptoms of foot peeling, the area is not very large, no serious swelling, you can use dakinin for treatment. If it is foaming, but not broken, bifonazole cream can be used for sterilization.
