Controlling asthma and living happily

  Asthma is a common chronic disease, asthma attacks are very painful, will affect the normal work and study, if not adhere to the regular treatment, it is difficult to get the ideal control.  Asthma is a chronic airway inflammation, and the first choice of treatment to control this inflammation is to use glucocorticoids, long-term systemic application of hormones will bring many side effects. Inhaled glucocorticosteroids are small in volume, excreted quickly into the body, and act directly on the lung lesions, so their efficacy and safety are much better than systemic hormone application. Foreign scholars have confirmed that the safe dose of inhaled glucocorticoids for children for 10 years has not caused any side effects caused by systemic hormones.  In addition, for bronchodilators, inhalation has a faster onset of action than oral or intravenous administration, and can rapidly relieve the symptoms of airway spasm. Therefore, inhalation therapy is now mostly used and is recommended in the asthma treatment protocols developed by asthma experts in more than a dozen countries worldwide.  The treatment of asthma is divided into two phases: long-term control and rapid remission. Rapid remission refers to the treatment of patients with acute exacerbations, i.e., relief of airway spasm.  Long-term control means treating patients with asthma even when they are not having an attack, mainly to improve the chronic inflammation present in asthma patients, which is more difficult to control and requires a longer course of treatment because the chronic inflammation in asthma patients is long-term. However, as long as you follow the medical advice, adhere to the treatment and use the current anti-inflammatory therapy, asthma can be completely well controlled.  2.How to deal with asthma attack When asthma attack occurs, you should apply bronchodilators and other rapid relief drugs immediately, and then go to hospital quickly to receive treatment.  Since the chronic airway inflammation of asthma is currently difficult to eradicate completely, the success of asthma treatment cannot be said to be cured, but rather controlled. It is unscientific and irresponsible for many traveling doctors to say that they can cure asthma nowadays. The goal of asthma treatment is minimal or no symptoms, minimal or no asthma attacks, minimal or no need for medication, no limitations in physical activity and exercise, near normal lung function, no visits to the doctor for emergencies, and minimal or no medication side effects.
