Why does chronic bronchitis attack easily in spring?
”Chronic bronchitis” is the abbreviation for chronic bronchitis that occurs repeatedly and for a long time. Due to the special climatic characteristics of spring, especially in early spring, the remaining cold has not yet disappeared, and the vernal equinox gradually turns warm, which makes it easy for pathogenic microorganisms to grow and reproduce, so if patients with old bronchitis do not pay attention to prevention, it is very easy to cause infection.
What are the characteristics of old people with Lonichiasis?
Chronic bronchitis is usually diagnosed when coughing and coughing up to 3 months or more per year, with continuous attacks for 2 years or more. In contrast, old age bronchiectasis is a chronic recurrent episode of increased bronchial mucus secretion with clinical manifestations of cough and sputum. Usually
elderly people have decreased physiological lung function due to the declining function of various systems and malnutrition, and in addition to cough and sputum, they may also have shortness of breath or shortness of breath and symptoms of malnutrition.
Is there any contraindication in the diet of Lonichiasis?
Patients with Lonichiasis should avoid eating greasy, indigestible, spicy, cold, sweet and salty products, such as fatty meat, yellow fish, shrimp, crab, chili peppers, leeks, green onions and garlic, in order to avoid hurting the spleen and producing phlegm, or stimulating the respiratory tract to cause coughing.
Fourth, what are the benefits of quitting smoking for the elderly with lonichiasis?
In order to know the benefits of quitting smoking for the elderly, we must first understand the hazards of smoking.
The dangers of smoking or passive smoking. Because the chemical substances in the cigarette, such as tar, nicotine, cyanuric acid, etc., can act on the vegetative nerves, causing bronchial spasm, thus increasing the resistance of the respiratory tract; in addition, it can also damage the bronchial mucous membrane epithelial cells and their cilia, so that the bronchial mucous membrane secretions increase, reducing the purification function of the lung, and easily cause the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria in the lung and bronchus, resulting in the occurrence of chronic bronchitis.
Reduce the damage of cigarette to bronchial mucosa, and reduce the secretion of bronchial mucosa. Obviously, it is conducive to the prevention and treatment of slow-onset bronchitis.
