A. What should asthma patients pay attention to in their daily life? 1.Reduce pollen and smoke inhalation, and it is better to reduce going out in the daytime and after lunch. 2.Cockroaches are important allergens, so pay attention to kill cockroaches in the house. 3.Wash clothes and bedding close to the body with hot water to kill and reduce dust mites. 4.Reduce cat allergens and fungal inhalation, try not to keep cats, and keep the room dry and well ventilated. 5. Pay attention to warmth and do not touch cold air abruptly. 6.Inject influenza vaccine to prevent seasonal influenza. 7.Avoid emotional excitement and maintain a good state of mind. 8.Strengthen physical exercise to enhance personal physical fitness. Second, what should asthma patients pay attention to in their diet? Daily diet should be light in taste, avoid cold food and cold drinks, spicy and other stimulating food, high sugar, high fat and high salt food, etc. Avoid eating fishy, fatty and gas-producing foods, fish, shrimp and fatty meat are easy to produce phlegm; gas-producing foods such as leeks, groundnuts, etc., are not good for lung qi, so they should be eaten sparingly or not eaten. Daily diet should be less and more meals, not too full. Third, should asthma patients quit smoking and drinking? Asthma patients should quit smoking. Because smoking can cause bronchospasm, increased secretion and damage to the airway mucosa epithelium. Smoke contains toxins such as aldehydes and nitrogen oxides, which stimulate inflammation of the respiratory mucosa, cause coughing and phlegm, and induce and aggravate asthma attacks, so it is strongly recommended that asthma patients who smoke quit smoking. About 10% of asthma patients are allergic to alcohol, and these people certainly should not drink alcohol. For other patients, drinking small amounts of alcohol during the remission period is often not a problem; however, since alcohol can stimulate the throat, drinking more can also stimulate asthma, so it is advisable to drink less. 4. Are inhaled hormones safe? Hormones are widely used in clinical work and are very effective for many diseases. At the same time, the systemic side effects of hormones are also obvious, including elevated blood sugar, osteoporosis, and infections caused by immune suppression. Therefore, many patients are reluctant to use hormone therapy when they hear about hormones. However, asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease that requires long-term treatment and needs to be controlled with hormones for a long time. In order to avoid the side effects of hormones, there has been a great innovation in hormone preparations. The hormones currently used in clinical practice for asthma patients are “inhaled hormones”, which are completely different from the hormones used systemically, such as those used orally and intravenously, and are local hormones. The dose of inhaled hormones is very low, calculated in micrograms, while the dose of oral hormones is calculated in milligrams, with 1 milligram being equal to 1000 micrograms, so the difference between the two doses is very large. In addition, the chemical structure of inhaled hormone is changed, and it is a special type of hormone that only works at the site of airway inflammation, and is rarely absorbed locally or swallowed into the stomach to produce systemic effects. Even if a small amount enters the bloodstream, most of them can be inactivated after metabolism by the liver. The dose of inhaled hormone we recommend for patients is the dose recommended by the guideline, which is a safe dose after a lot of clinical research and exploration. However, if the inhalation method is not well mastered, local side effects may occur, such as hoarseness or oral Candida infection. The latter is a fungal infection with an overall incidence of less than 3%. The incidence of such local side effects can be reduced even more if the correct inhalation method is mastered and the mouth is rinsed with water several times after inhalation.
