Treatment and prevention

The cause of asthma is relatively complex. It is a chronic airway inflammation involving multiple cells, especially mast cells, eosinophils and T lymphocytes. The main symptoms are cough, wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness, and sputum.

Symptoms of asthma in children:

⒈ There are often precursor symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose (allergic rhinitis), itchy throat, and cough (allergic cough).

⒉ There may be irritating cough and white foamy sputum.

⒊Recurrent dyspnea with wheezing, more severe at night.

⒋ During an attack, widespread wheezing can be heard in both lungs, moist rales can be heard in some parts, and percussion is too clear.

⒌ Severe breathing difficulties during an asthma attack, which are not relieved by the reasonable use of sympathomimetic drugs and theophylline drugs, are called status asthmaticus. Marked hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention may occur. Sweating, cyanosis, pale complexion, and even unconsciousness may be seen. Status asthmaticus has a high mortality rate.

⒍Patients in the late stage may have emphysema and pulmonary insufficiency.

Treatment during remission

1. Strengthen physical exercise to enhance the body's resistance. Winter exercise can improve the ability of the respiratory mucosa to adapt to cold air.

2. Adjust the room temperature reasonably to prevent colds. The indoor temperature should not be too high in winter, otherwise the temperature difference with the outdoor temperature will be large, making it easy to catch a cold. In summer, you should not seek coolness too much and use air conditioners at moderate temperatures. Otherwise, you may get a heat cold when going out, which may trigger an attack of bronchitis. During the influenza season, try to avoid crowded places and do not take off your clothes suddenly when you sweat a lot to prevent yourself from catching a cold. Pay attention to adding or removing clothes as the seasons change.

3. Choose necessary multifunctional treatment and protective measures.
