Pediatric asthma is a recurrent allergic disease that causes pain and anxiety for the child and panic for the parents with each attack. The number of asthma attacks can be avoided and reduced if active preventive measures are taken against asthma. According to the survey, the recurrence rate of pediatric asthma in winter is up to 70% or more, which not only increases the physical and mental suffering of children, serious cases can be life-threatening, therefore, in order to prevent the recurrence of pediatric asthma, in the cold season to do five taboos.
1, avoid contact with cold air: cold air can stimulate the respiratory mucosa receptors, resulting in abnormal impulses and tracheal spasm, triggering pediatric asthma, so in the winter season, the children in addition to pay attention to strengthen warmth and add clothes in a timely manner, but also try to avoid contact with strong cold air.
2, avoid passive smoking: passive smoking can constitute chronic damage to the trachea, thus forming a highly reactive state and triggering pediatric asthma, so parents of children with asthma in winter should absolutely avoid smoking.
3, avoid contact with allergens: pediatric asthma caution wearing animal fur, caution eating shrimp and crab seafood, caution using aspirin and sodium salicylate and other allergenic drugs. Avoid contact with pollen, it is best not to take the child to the garden, flowerwood excursions, so as not to contact allergens and cause asthma attacks.
4, avoid upper respiratory tract infection: repeated respiratory tract infections caused by “airway hyper-reactive state” is the basic mechanism of asthma, but also constitute the main factor of recurrence, so the prevention of upper respiratory tract infection in winter is the key to reduce the recurrence of asthma.
5, avoid strenuous activities and emotional excitement: because of strenuous activities and emotional excitement can cause β receptor sensitivity to decrease, relative to α receptor sensitivity increased, thus triggering bronchial asthma. In addition, too strenuous exercise can also cause reflex tracheospasm due to hyperventilation, so do not let pediatric asthma patients run or shout vigorously in winter to avoid triggering asthma attacks.
