The World Asthma Day, asthma is not afraid but still need to pay attention to

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, and it is estimated that 1 out of every 20 people in the world are suffering from asthma. The disease is still not a radical method, once the attack will follow, life follows. But a lot of patients once the condition is stable or not attack will ignore treatment, resulting in aggravation of illness or lung function caused irreversible damage. Tong da Affiliated Hospital, deputy director of respiratory medicine, chief physician Fengjiannan remind patients, asthma needs long-term, systematic and standardized treatment, can not be allowed to ignore.

People with family history should be wary of heredity

Ms. Wu, 34 years old, had no asthma symptoms when she was a child, and since she was pregnant 5 years ago, she often felt "out of breath," until the year before she was paid attention to the hospital for an examination and found that she was suffering from asthma. Ms Wu's parents have not had asthma, but both grandfathers and uncles have a history of asthma. Fengjiannan, most patients with asthma in early childhood will attack, but there are patients with symptoms is not obvious, until the adult show. He said there are many causes of asthma, both genetic and environmental factors that induce asthma. Asthma is hereditary, and people with a family history have a higher prevalence rate than the average person, and allergies are more likely to develop asthma.

Fengjiannan reminded that children with asthma have various symptoms, for example, in the neonatal period, prone to eczema, after the addition of supplementary food, easy to some of the food allergy of different proteins; a little older, there will be a cold easily cough, cough and other symptoms without reason; If the child has these symptoms, parents should take their children to the hospital in time. Asthma is still a worldwide problem, can not be cured, however, early detection of children, the effect of treatment will be much better.

Asthma attack irreversible injury

Fengjiannan introduced, many light disease patients do not attach importance to asthma, think as long as "carry a shoulder" can pass, but, asthma every attack, lung function will be damaged, this kind of injury is often irreversible. He has contacted a patient, early childhood is the onset, but has not standardized treatment, such as the 60-year-old "really out of breath" before the doctor, has developed into severe patients. There are even patients with repeated illness, lung function is getting worse, asthma acute attack and death.

In addition, there is a "atypical" asthma-cough variant type of asthma, this disease is different from the typical asthmatic symptoms of bronchial asthma, with no onset dyspnea, only a prolonged obstinate cough, exposure to cold air, climate change or movement, and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection. Often misdiagnosed as bronchitis, chronic pharyngitis, recurrent respiratory infections and long-term use of antibacterial drugs.

Asthma needs long-term treatment "asthma is difficult to cure, but also easy to relapse, many patients once the disease is controlled, let go, this habit is terrible." "Fengjiannan introduced, also have a lot of patients to buy their own aerosol, not regular visits." In fact, asthma is like hypertension, diabetes and other chronic diseases, such as the need for lifelong control, patients should visit the hospital once a month.

How to prevent and control asthma in daily life? Fengjiannan Introduction, asthma patients should pay attention to keep away from dust, dust, reduce contact with pollen, animal fur, mites and other factors; people in crowded places should do personal protection, strengthen exercise, strengthen the body disease resistance; When the weather changes, add and subtract clothes in time. Cooperate with the doctor to do remission and anti-inflammatory medication, do daily diary record and regular peak flow control. The majority of patients after standardized treatment can be found that "asthma can be controlled."
