What is the best treatment for asthma in children?

Childhood asthma is a common disease in life. It is usually caused by asthma in both parents, so you'd better pay attention to patients with asthma. For diseases like childhood asthma, as long as we treat it in time in our lives, there is still hope of recovery. Now let us take a look at the best treatment for childhood asthma.

Immunotherapy

It is divided into nonspecific immunotherapy and specific desensitization therapy. In recent years, thymosin, inactivated BCG, bronchitis vaccine, nuclear casein, measles vaccine, placental lipopolysaccharide and other methods have been used. The purpose of these treatments is to stimulate the body's immune function, enhance lymphocyte proliferation, and produce nonspecific IgG, thereby improving the patient's immune function.

Desensitization therapy

It is suitable for exogenous asthma and targets certain allergens that cause allergic reactions in the body. It starts with a small dose and gradually increases the concentration to reduce the body's reagin IgE, achieving the dual effects of etiology treatment and etiology prevention. Desensitization therapy should generally be continued for 2 to 3 years. It is more effective for those who are allergic to a single allergen, and the effect is better in children than in adults. However, due to the wide variety of allergens, some allergens such as dust, mites, pollen and mold are almost everywhere and difficult to prevent, so there is still controversy about its therapeutic status.

Prevent viral infection. Respiratory tract infection, especially RSV infection, is closely related to childhood asthma attacks. Therefore, it is very important to prevent viral respiratory tract infection. Currently, there are few effective antiviral drugs at home and abroad. Commonly used drugs are:

① Interferon has a broad-spectrum antiviral effect. There are reports of using interferon aerosol to prevent and treat viral respiratory infections and stop asthma attacks, but it is difficult to obtain, expensive, and the longer the course of treatment, the more side effects there are;

② Virazole aerosol has a certain effect in preventing and treating infectious asthma. It can be dripped into the nose or inhaled as aerosol, 2 to 3 times a day.

Stabilizing the cell membrane can prevent asthma attacks by stabilizing the cell membrane of mast cells, inhibiting mast cell degranulation, and thus preventing the release of chemical mediators. ① Sodium cromoglycate is the preferred preventive drug. This drug is not absorbed in the intestine and requires 20 mg of half powder, which is placed in a spray inhaler and inhaled 3 to 4 times a day. It usually takes effect after 2 to 4 weeks, and the course of treatment is 4 to 6 months. However, this drug has no bronchodilating effect and is ineffective for acute attacks. In some children, inhalation of this drug may induce bronchial asthma.

Through this article's introduction to the treatment methods for childhood asthma, we all know that childhood asthma can be controlled by using cellular immunity or interferon methods. If we find that our children have symptoms of asthma in life, we should treat them in time, which will be of great help to the treatment effect.
