Recurrent bronchial asthma attacks seriously affect the quality of life of patients, so asthma can be controlled code? The answer is yes – as long as you treat it regularly. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, or allergic airway disease. Asthma attacks or exacerbations can occur when allergens are inhaled or when you are exposed to other triggers. Even mild asthma can be fatal with certain triggers. Common allergens and triggers include inhalation of pollen, house dust mites (in bedding, carpets), animal fur, smoke, occupational irritants, respiratory infections, exercise, paint odors, cold air, and aspirin medications. Each person with asthma does not have exactly the same allergic conditions and triggers and should avoid triggers to prevent asthma attacks according to their individual situation. For example, do not keep flowers, plants or pets at home, and wash and dry bedding regularly. Drugs for asthma treatment can be divided into two categories, one is asthma control drugs, which can also be called preventive drugs, and the other is relief drugs, called asthma symptom relief drugs. Control drugs are mainly inhaled hormones, including beclomethasone propionate, budesonide and fluticasone. Relief drugs mainly include β2 agonists (such as salbutamol aerosol), anticholinergic drugs (such as ipratropium bromide aerosol) and theophylline drugs. Controlled medications need to be used for a long time under the supervision of a physician, and it acts as an anti-inflammatory agent to prevent asthma attacks. Inhaled hormones have been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of asthma, even in children. Relief medications mainly act as bronchodilators and provide rapid relief of asthma symptoms. They may not be used if there are no asthma symptoms. It is important for asthma patients to master the characteristics of the two types of medications mentioned above and to use asthma medications correctly. Inhaling a combination of a hormone and a long-acting β2 agonist is currently considered to be a more desirable drug for the long-term treatment of moderate to severe asthma. Control of asthma requires continuous long-term treatment and monitoring, which includes review of symptoms and multiple measurements of lung function. A simple spirometer (spirometer) that can be used daily at home is ideal for asthma patients to self-monitor their condition. Patients can simply exhale into the spirometer to see how well their airways are blocked. Patients can also visit the hospital regularly for pulmonary function tests. If the patient is free of asthma symptoms for 2-3 months and the pulmonary function indicators reach normal levels, the original treatment plan should be adjusted and the dose of medication reduced, i.e., step-down treatment. Conversely, if the symptoms worsen and the lung function index decreases, the treatment should be upgraded and the drug dose needs to be increased. The treatment of asthma is a long-term process and requires patients to have certain self-management ability. First of all, they should increase their confidence in treating asthma, believe in science, establish a long-term partnership with their doctors, learn how to control asthma under the guidance of their doctors, and insist on receiving standardized treatment. Do not stop the medication or reduce the dose of medication at your own discretion, which will instead cause repeated aggravation or attacks of asthma and will eventually lead to serious damage to lung function.
