What should we pay attention to when children have asthma?

Bronchial asthma (abbreviated as asthma) is a chronic airway inflammatory disease. Childhood asthma is a common disease. Once a child has asthma, it is bad for his future growth. If the attack is severe, it may be life-threatening. Therefore, we must actively treat the disease, but we also need to pay attention to many issues during the treatment. So, what should we pay attention to when it comes to childhood asthma?

1. Reduce allergenic factors: Allergies are the main cause of asthma attacks, so avoid contact with potentially allergenic substances, such as duck down, fur, chemical fiber bedding, etc.; do not keep pets such as cats, dogs and birds at home; do not plant allergenic flowers and plants indoors. Bed sheets, quilts and pillows should be washed regularly. Do not smoke indoors and keep the room clean and ventilated. Try not to take your children to crowded public places with polluted air. Taking your children on vacation to mountains, lakeside or rural areas with fresh air regularly will be of great benefit to the control of asthma, but avoid the flowering period of plants. Actively prevent influenza from triggering asthma.

2. Pay attention to dietary adjustments: People with asthma should avoid eating irritating foods, try not to eat foods containing too many additives and condiments, and eat less sweet, salty, cold and greasy foods. The dietary principles are: light, easy to digest, balanced meat and vegetables, and eating fruits often. If you have a weak constitution, you can take Chinese medicine for conditioning.

3. Strengthen physical exercise: Exercise can promote the metabolism of asthma, improve respiratory function, and thus improve the body's ability to adapt to changes in the external environment. It can also promote appetite and speed up the body's recovery. Cold tolerance training is very good for asthma, but it must be done gradually and persistently. For example, you can participate in swimming in the summer and choose morning jogging, morning exercises, playing ball, etc. in the winter. Especially in winter, you can arrange 1 to 2 hours of cold resistance every day. Secondly, you should regularly exercise your lung function, such as practicing the harmonica, blowing balloons, etc. Singing more and reading aloud are also very beneficial.

What should we pay attention to when children have asthma? In the early stages of asthma, the condition is relatively mild and the disease can usually be controlled for a long time after appropriate control measures are taken. However, many patients cannot receive timely and reasonable treatment due to insufficient knowledge, and the disease can easily accumulate over time, and later, almost every day, the symptoms of asthma become more severe and the dose becomes larger and larger. So it is very stubborn, because most bronchial asthma is not treated in time, which also brings huge economic burden and mental pain to patients.
