Getting out of the wrong side of asthma treatment

  1. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, not an inflammation caused by a bacterial infection. Therefore, in most patients with asthma, antimicrobial therapy is not required or is only used for a short period of time in the setting of a co-infection of the respiratory system. The airway inflammation of asthma requires treatment with non-specific anti-inflammatory drugs such as inhaled surface hormones that are specific for asthma. However, it is not uncommon to see some asthma patients taking antibiotics on their own once they have an attack; 2. Talking about hormone therapy. Many patients and their families and even some doctors are very afraid of hormone therapy. It is not known that glucocorticoids are a double-edged sword, and the doctor who discovered him had won the Nobel Prize for his miraculous efficacy. Scientific use as prescribed by the doctor can not only avoid side effects, but also enable more than 90% of patients to achieve normal quality of life, which is the most effective treatment drug at present. Inhaled hormone drugs for asthma, as long as they can be gargled correctly and effectively, generally no side effects will occur.  3. Some patients stop taking the medication as soon as their asthma symptoms are under control. This is prone to recurrent attacks, not knowing that asthma is a chronic disease and airway inflammation exists even when there is no attack, which can lead to repeated aggravation of the disease and gradual decline in cardiopulmonary function. Only by adhering to the standardized step therapy in general can asthma have fewer attacks or even no attacks and can easily lead a normal life; 4. Believe in advertising prescriptions. Individual patients take the so-called pure traditional Chinese medicine specializing in asthma with unknown ingredients for a long time and develop side effects such as full-moon face, buffalo back, osteoporosis and diabetes, and only when the symptoms cannot be controlled do they go to the regular hospital and miss the disease; 5. mistake symptom-relieving drugs for clinical control drugs. Once the attack is inhaled short-acting β2 receptor aerosol, only treating the symptoms but not the root cause, not only delaying the disease, but also the risk of arrhythmia, it is recommended to go to the respiratory department of a regular hospital and follow medical advice on medication.
