Don’t just buy prescriptions Asthma is a relatively stubborn chronic inflammatory airway disease, and improper treatment can often lead to serious consequences. Therefore, when it comes to asthma, both doctors and patients have headaches. The main manifestation of asthma is difficulty in exhalation, coughing, chest tightness and other symptoms, and a whistle-like high-pitched sound called “croup” can be heard when examining the lungs. The first few minutes of an asthma attack are often characterized by allergic symptoms such as itchy nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose, tearing and dry cough. Then there is chest tightness and a feeling of pressure in the chest, and after about 10 minutes there is difficulty in breathing, and in severe cases you can even hear the “asthma sound” without a doctor’s stethoscope. In addition, asthma has the characteristic of recurrent attacks, i.e., attacks can occur in all seasons, often with chest tightness, shortness of breath and even low fever. Some patients are so tormented by the disease that they easily believe in prescriptions and miracles. Director Shih said that the purchase of prescriptions must be cautious. Many advertisers take advantage of the patient’s psychology to promote the so-called special drugs, which are usually crushed into powdered form basically contain hormones such as prednisone and other general will have a temporary effect, but the adverse effects are obvious, easy to form a dependence, once the onset is often more difficult to treat, many patients later become refractory asthma, severe asthma, etc.. We have seen many patients in the clinic who use “asthma powder” without production lot number, and the initial effect is indeed effective, but after a long time the effect is poor, and even weight gain, increased sweat hair of lesbians, purple lines on the inner thighs, and full moon face. Moreover, we do not advocate the use of oral hormone drugs. Can exercise trigger asthma? Modern people admire exercise, but some asthma patients have a fear of exercise, especially children, because of the possibility of triggering asthma attacks after exercise. For this phenomenon, it is believed that the so-called exercise asthma contains two cases: one is simple exercise asthma, that is, exercise is the only trigger for his asthma, this is simple and can be treated with only temporary medication, that is, inhalation of beta-receptor stimulation such as Ventolin before exercise for example 15 minutes or half an hour; or oral medication to prevent asthma three or four hours before. Perennial asthma usually has a variety of triggering factors, and exercise is only one of them, then it is necessary to long-term treatment, must cure the asthma itself, in order to make him not trigger asthma after exercise. And be sure to do warm-up before exercise, this time the asthma attack is related to a large number of inhalation of dry and cold air, through the warm-up gradually increase the amount of exercise, can significantly reduce the asthma attack, or make the asthma attack reduce and alleviate the degree. Long runs outside in winter are most likely to trigger asthma, while exercises like swimming and indoor sports are less likely to occur. Can asthma be cured at the root? As you know, once people get high blood pressure or diabetes, they need to take medication for the rest of their lives. Asthma is actually very similar to hypertension and diabetes in that it requires a long-term treatment process. However, it is true that some patients with asthma can get long-term relief, or what the people call “root cause”. We must realize that most asthma patients need long-term control and treatment, and they must be treated in a standardized way. It is not difficult to achieve long-term asthma control by close cooperation between family members and patients, mastering the correct knowledge of medication under the guidance of specialists, and building up confidence to overcome the disease. Regarding the treatment of asthma, Shi Huanzhong has repeatedly emphasized that it must be standardized. The so-called standardization is to determine the diagnosis of asthma under the guidance of a specialist according to the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of asthma set by the Chinese Medical Association’s Respiratory Disease Branch, and then to classify the disease according to the classification and determine the treatment plan, of which inhalation therapy (including inhaled hormones and β-agonists) is the core measure to achieve the goal of symptom control. As for intravenous hormones or oral hormones, they should only be considered if inhalation therapy is not completely effective for a while. It must be remembered that at no time should you listen to the “root-cause therapy” of the charlatans, nor should you easily take any “asthma powder” that is not licensed for production.
