Introduction to wheezing pneumonia

In our daily lives, we may lack understanding of the symptoms and treatments of asthma pneumonia, mainly because this disease occurs in young children. For this kind of infant disease, we should have a certain understanding of its symptoms so that we can detect the existence of wheezing pneumonia in time to better ensure the health of our children. I hope mothers can learn about it.

Asthma pneumonia has an acute onset and is an explosive epidemic. It is more common in children under 2 years old, and most of them have severe asthma at the onset. The clinical manifestations are characterized by worsening wheezing and paroxysmal wheezing, with obvious symptoms of respiratory obstruction, manifested as expiratory dyspnea, prolonged exhalation, flaring of the nasal wing, and obvious three-depression sign. Asthma pneumonia is a common disease in infants and young children and falls into the category of respiratory tract infection.

Causes and mechanisms

The main infecting virus is syncytial virus. Because infants and young children have low immunity and their respiratory system has a special physiological and anatomical structure, they are prone to respiratory infections. For example: the respiratory mucosa is tender, rich in blood supply, but the mucous glands secrete little and are dry, making it easy to be infected and develop mucosal edema, which causes difficulty breathing and clinical symptoms of wheezing; the chest cavity is small, the respiratory muscles are underdeveloped, the alveolar volume is small, and the lung function reserve is small, which makes it easy for infants and young children to develop breathing difficulties after respiratory infections (mainly pneumonia).
