Is it true that “childhood asthma is not curable”? Most of us asthma patients and their families, and even a few medical professionals, believe that some childhood illnesses will disappear naturally as the child reaches puberty and matures in all aspects of his or her physical condition. Vigilance! This statement is wrong! Many parents believe this, not to active treatment, and take the attitude of waiting for the child to grow up will be good, but do not realize that this is very harmful. Many people wait until the child’s teenage years is not good, has formed emphysema or pulmonary heart disease and disability, regret. Is there a basis for this? Scientific research has confirmed that pediatric asthma without formal treatment, about 50% of the development of more than the continuation of adult asthma, and after active treatment of asthma children only 5 to 10% into adult asthma. Why do some children develop adult asthma and some do not? There are many factors that affect the prognosis of children with asthma, the most common being the duration of the disease, the duration of the disease, etc. Today we will discuss the most common factors! In fact, there are many factors can affect the prognosis of asthma patients, the most common factors are: 1, the duration of the disease: generally speaking, the shorter the duration of the disease, that is, the more timely diagnosis, the earlier the treatment, the better the prognosis. In particular, the early start of inhaled hormone anti-inflammatory treatment is better. Due to the pediatric asthma course is shorter, has not yet developed to the stage of irreversible airway remodeling, the response to treatment is better than adults, therefore, once the pediatric symptoms of wheezing, should pay great attention to early diagnosis and start treatment. 2, the severity of the disease: in general, the prognosis of mild disease is better, the prognosis of severe disease tends to be worse. 3, genetic factors: patients with obvious genetic factors, their prognosis is often worse than those without obvious genetic factors. At the same time, it is also found that some of the child’s father or mother asthma when young, regardless of the severity, if it is to the school age gradually stop attacks, the child is likely to 7 to 8 years old after the gradual cessation of episodes, I am afraid that this is also the role of genetic factors. 4, whether the treatment is standardized and sustained: this is closely related to the majority of asthma patients prognosis. Regardless of the severity of the disease, the duration of the disease, if you do not adhere to a continuous, standardized treatment, we can not talk about a good prognosis. 5, changes in endocrine function: clinics have long observed that before and after puberty, a portion of the asthma patients gradually reduce or stop attacks, this is what some people call “self-healing”, we call it easy to heal period. This period of endocrine hormone levels of great changes may play a decisive role. 6, immune function changes: young children with asthma due to immune function development is not yet perfect, 3 ~ 5 years of age with the gradual improvement of immune function, respiratory infections are reduced, asthma attacks are gradually reduced, alleviated or stopped. Therefore, early identification of the child’s immune function status, and give interventional therapy, may be to promote the cessation of asthma in infants and young children a measure. 7, type: Some people think that the prognosis of infectious asthma is better than allergic asthma, but it has not been confirmed.
