Why does the child always gasp for air?

Children always take long breaths, and this phenomenon must not be ignored, because if it is some disease, such as asthma, then the harm caused to the child is relatively serious. Therefore, I hope that parents can pay more attention to the understanding of these common sense and effectively avoid the harm of these diseases, so as to better ensure their health.

It may be asthma... "Asthma" is a common disease, which is characterized by repeated attacks and long-term non-healing. It is a chronic disease. Some asthma patients develop the disease in their teens and still have frequent attacks in their old age. Therefore, there is a saying that "internal medicine cannot cure asthma".

Bronchial asthma is a highly sensitive disease of the bronchi caused by certain allergens (non-allergic factors can also cause it) from the outside or in the human body. Due to the oversensitive reaction of the bronchi to irritants (allergens), the bronchi undergo extensive reversible spasms and stenosis. The clinical manifestations are paroxysmal expiratory dyspnea with wheezing, which lasts for several minutes to several hours and improves on its own after treatment. Severe patients may suffer from the disease for several days to several weeks or have several attacks in a day, which is very painful for the patients. If asthma lasts for a long time, the human body will experience various symptoms of hypoxia, such as myocardial hypoxia and cerebral hypoxia, leading to serious consequences such as angina pectoris, heart failure, and pulmonary encephalopathy. Long-term repeated attacks are often complicated by chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and cor pulmonale.

Guidance:

Asthma attack first aid measures:

(1) First, try to calm the patient down, encourage him to drink more warm water, and pat his back to help him cough up phlegm.

(2) Give the patient oxygen to breathe, preferably with a humidifier bottle before breathing. Because the patient opens his mouth to breathe, the tracheal mucosa is easy to dry, making the sputum sticky and difficult to cough up. You can use a cup of hot water and let the patient inhale the hot steam to moisten the tracheal mucosa, making the sputum thinner and easier to cough up.

(3) Use asthma inhalers. There are many dosage forms available. You can choose the one that suits you, such as vasectomycin, salbutamol, etc. Spray it into your mouth during deep exhalation to improve asthma. However, it is not advisable to use too much in a short period of time to avoid side effects such as tachycardia.

The above are the causes and coping methods for children's long wheezing. I hope that every parent and friend can help their children solve the problem correctly when facing this situation. Because children are still young, any disease will have a greater impact on them, so scientific treatment is needed.
