Bronchial asthma: treatment and prevention
Asthma. Briefly, sonorous and, it seems, hopeless. So this term sounds - gasp, difficulty breathing. The patient becomes a victim of a shortage of air, oxygen: it seems that the elephant has settled on his chest, then as if trying to draw oil through the straw.
After a century, the disease occurs in more severe forms and more often requires hospitalization. The incidence of bronchial asthma is increasing: 5-6% of the adult population is ill in our country.
In this case, only the bronchi suffer, and the reason lies in the increased reactivity of the bronchi. Easier - in an allergic manifestation. Reduced clearance of bronchi during asthma attacks. Difficulty in breathing, unpleasant sensations without an attack is not manifested: paroxysmal nature of the disease.
There are provoking factors of the disease: it is not easy to identify them. This and known allergens - plants, house dust, animal hair, food and medicine;weather factors and phenomena, viral and bacterial diseases of the respiratory tract;hormonal disorders in the body. Often this is a heredity, and bronchial asthma appears after pneumonia or bronchitis.
Bronchial asthma - classification of
- atopic - when interacting with an allergen;
- is infectious-dependent - for no reason or on nerves.
There are 3 types of gravity stages, and sometimes as abroad - 4:
- light,
- average weight,
- heavy.
Hormone-dependent and aspirin bronchial asthma stand apart: it requires either the use of glucocorticosteroid hormones or satellites are polyps in the nose.
Bronchial asthma: treatment of
First of all, diagnostics and individual selection of effective treatment are necessary. Doses and drugs are prescribed strictly by a doctor. He also sends for research: a spirogram with bronchial asthma. This is to establish the function of external respiration, a predominantly obstructive type of respiratory disturbance during remission is recorded.
Bronchodilators relieve bronchospasm, which is recorded on a spirogram. The patient inhales and exhales with a certain force, and after a mathematical analysis of the obtained data, the changes in pulmonary volumes are graphically displayed. And the conclusion is drawn: whether or not there is a disease.
How to treat bronchial asthma? What are the treatment options?
- elimination of daily factors contributing to the onset of an attack;
- immediate treatment of respiratory and gastrointestinal tract diseases;
- execution of all prescriptions of the doctor;
- strengthening of the immune system.
Bronchial asthma - treatment with fast-acting drugs for stopping an asthmatic attack( inhalation forms - salbutamol, berotek, ventolin, berodual and many others) and preventive to reduce the sensitivity of the bronchi( intall, taileed, zaditen, inhalation hormones - bekotid, beclometh, inhacortum,tableted hormones - prednisolone, polcortolone).
Inhalers for bronchial asthma
A popular and convenient way to stop an attack with bronchial asthma is inhalation. The bronchodilator drug immediately enters the bronchi and is practically harmless to the whole organism. The inhaler is easy to keep always at hand and correctly applied: standing or sitting up to automatism by practicing calm and precise movements.
Preventive inhalations should also be taken to reduce the duration of the attack.
Treatment without medication
Non-medicinal ways of confronting the ail are also used: respiratory gymnastics, curative starvation and homeopathy, folk remedies, massage.
Respiratory gymnastics in bronchial asthma is an effective therapeutic method, because to teach breathing is superficial, without deep breaths, irritating bronchial receptors and intensifying an attack. The longer the disease lasts, the greater the tone of the tension of the respiratory muscles and, of course, the diaphragm.
To remove fatigue, overload and connect the respiratory muscles for inhalation, exhalation, delayed breathing will help therapeutic gymnastics. Proper breathing and control of it - that's what this unconventional method will help.
Treatment of bronchial asthma with homeopathy
Many people are interested in homeopathic medicines, and this is understandable: after all, patients want to be cured without harmful chemical agents, but by natural means of animal, vegetable and mineral origin.
A careful individual selection of certain homoeopathic mono preparations from thousands similar to the age, sex, medical history and disease of a particular person. According to homeopaths: you can not treat only a specific disease, but you need to help the body to cope with the disease.
Which will lead to a sustainable recovery in the future.
Bronchial asthma: treatment with folk remedies is based on the appropriate diet. It is necessary not to eat meat and starch in any dishes, but there are more cottage cheese and vegetables, fresh fruit.
Also good are infusions and balms: infusions on herbs, cones, Jerusalem artichoke, balm on aloe, garlic oil. A huge number of recipes. But it is better to coordinate with the attending physician. After all, it can still get worse: for example, an allergy to a component of one of the plants. What helped someone, for another is simply dangerous.
The most severe manifestation of an allergic reaction is bronchial asthma in a child. But a good chance of a successful recovery with proper treatment and supervision of a doctor.
They leave rather quickly for persistent remission, there is no need for maintenance treatment. Treatment of bronchial asthma in children is similar: and drugs, and inhalers, and breathing exercises, you can and homeopathy.
Prevention
Prevention of bronchial asthma begins in the family, from childhood, especially if there are close relatives with allergic diseases. Treatment of chronic diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract under the supervision of a doctor: do not engage in self-treatment, hardening procedures, support of immunity, adherence to the foundations of healthy nutrition.
