Childhood asthma is one of the most common respiratory diseases that seriously affects the physical and mental health of children, and the prevalence and mortality of childhood asthma have been on the rise in recent years. So, what are the common misconceptions in childhood asthma treatment? The following are common misconceptions about childhood asthma. 1, children’s asthma will not cure itself as they grow older? Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. If left untreated, childhood asthma will affect their lifelong lung function once irreversible damage to the airway wall structure occurs, i.e., airway remodeling; some studies have shown that: one-third is getting better, one being immunologically altered and the other being physiologically constructed; one-third will get worse, with an extremely strong allergic response that cannot be offset by physiologic growth factors, and asthma may last a lifetime; one-third is somewhere in between the two, most adults with asthma start in infancy and childhood. 2. Does the absence of symptoms after medication mean that asthma is cured? Cough and wheeze can persist with airway inflammation even though the symptoms disappear with the use of relieving medications. It is like the tip of an iceberg on the surface of the sea, but in fact there is a bigger iceberg hidden under the surface; it will come back again. Medications for airway inflammation should be used as early as possible for long-term maintenance treatment to prevent asthma attacks and avoid airway remodeling. 3.Will the use of inhaled hormones in children with asthma affect height and growth? The effect of inhaled hormones on growth rate mainly appears in the first year of treatment, but it is only transient and will not affect height in adulthood; on the contrary, if you do not adhere to the standardized medication, uncontrolled severe asthma will have adverse effects on height and will also cause permanent damage to the lungs of the child. 4.Can asthma medication become addictive? No, they are not addictive. Long-term regular use of controlled medications allows asthma patients to achieve control sooner, faster and more often. The amount of asthma medication the patient needs will gradually decrease, be reduced or stopped. 5.Why do asthma attacks often occur at night? Hormone levels in the body drop at night, increasing inflammatory cell infiltration in the airways and the production of inflammatory substances, leading to more pronounced asthma symptoms; daily use of long-term control medications to control asthma inflammation can prevent nighttime attacks. 6.Why do asthma attacks occur during exercise? Acute airway narrowing and sudden increase in airway resistance that occurs after strenuous exercise; combined with the irritation of the throat and airway by cold air during exercise; are the causes of an acute asthma attack. If asthma limits the child’s motor power, it means that asthma has not reached good control and should be re-evaluated and treatment plan should be made under the guidance of a doctor. 7.Can asthma patients participate in sports? Proper exercise can improve the lung function of children with asthma, making the airways more tolerable, which in turn will reduce the likelihood of an asthma attack. When using asthma control medication regularly for a long time to achieve and maintain asthma control, children can participate in sports; however, the following points should be done: (1) Before exercising, prepare well (medication and warm-up); (2) After exercising, let the body cool down slowly; (3) In winter and during pollen season and serious air pollution, it is better to exercise indoors; (4) When you have a cold or asthma attack, limit the exercise appropriately. Exercise.
