What are the dangers of allergic asthma in children?

Nowadays, many children suffer from allergic asthma. Although the symptoms of this disease will gradually ease and disappear as the children grow up and their immune systems develop and improve. However, effective treatment is still needed as soon as possible, otherwise the harm caused by asthma will be immeasurable. Next, the editor will introduce the relevant impacts in detail, so everyone must read it carefully.

1. If allergic asthma is not treated, it can easily lead to obstructive pulmonary emphysema and chronic cor pulmonale. Excellent institutions have proven that about 80% of emphysema patients have chronic bronchitis, and 1/3 of chronic bronchitis patients have emphysema. Allergic asthma can easily turn into chronic bronchitis.

2. Allergic asthma can also easily lead to pneumothorax and mediastinal emphysema. When an asthma attack occurs, the small airways are easily blocked. Once a person coughs, the pressure in the alveoli is easily increased. The alveoli are easily ruptured and adhere together to form bullae. It is also possible that the gas flows through the lung interstitium to the mediastinum to form mediastinal emphysema. The more common thing is that the gas runs into the pleural cavity outside the lung and causes pneumothorax.

3. The most serious harm of allergic asthma is respiratory arrest and respiratory failure, because it is directly related to the existence of life, and once it develops into respiratory arrest, it will continue to recur. Respiratory failure is generally a complication of asthma in the late stage, manifested as changes in consciousness and obvious cyanosis, and must be treated immediately.

4. The longer a child's allergic asthma lasts, the more difficult it is to treat. This not only brings a heavy financial burden and various pressures to the family, but also affects the child's physical and mental health for life. Once a child shows symptoms suspected of allergic asthma, he or she must receive early treatment to avoid irreversible consequences.

From the article, we can see that the harm caused by allergic asthma to children is very serious, so parents and children should be vigilant and never delay treatment. It is best to take medication as soon as possible to help relieve the symptoms. At the same time, avoid contact with all objects that may cause allergic reactions, especially seafood and pollen.
