How parents can care for their children with asthma

Among the main factors that promote asthma attacks, since exogenous allergies account for about 29%, when finding out that children have asthma, the first thing to consider is to choose a hospital where allergens are tested for examination, so that the child is allergic to substances in the air. Parents should be more mindful of avoiding exposure to these risk factors in their daily lives and opting for desensitization if necessary.

Mites and pollen are often the "culprits" of asthma, and parents should do the following:

1. Use insecticides to kill mites that may be allergenic indoors.

2. Do not lay carpets indoors, and do not use blankets and fiber textiles for bedding.

3. Scrub beds and mats with warm water.

4. Do not keep pets and some flowers and plants in the living environment if there are sick children at home. This is because animal fur, excrement and saliva, as well as pollen secreted by plants, can cause allergies in children.

5. Indoor irritants such as tobacco, household sprays, paints, etc., should be avoided as much as possible.

Food allergies are one of the triggers for asthma. If the child is allergic to shrimp, crab, etc., parents should not let them eat such food, and can usually eat more legumes to meet the child's body's need for protein. Some medications, such as aspirin, can worsen asthma and should be avoided.

The guardian should establish a good partnership with the doctor, and according to the condition, the doctor and the patient should jointly formulate a treatment plan for the remission and attack periods, and have regular follow-up and monitoring. It is best for parents to regularly attend asthma schools, study classes, knowledge lectures, etc. opened by the hospital, read asthma-related popular science articles, and understand the relevant knowledge and skills of asthma prevention and treatment.

At the same time, under the guidance of a doctor, children should learn simple self-first aid knowledge in case of asthma attacks. For example, learn to eat a variety of metered vaping inhalation techniques. In addition, parents should also help their child or several children keep a record of their asthma, including the time of onset, symptoms, medications, etc. It should be documented in detail and better rules should be found to take care of the child.

What are the treatment options for childhood asthma?

1. Continue treatment after the child's seizures are relieved, seek stable curative effects, and try to prevent seizures from happening again.

2. Focus on prevention, and the second is treatment. Rapid treatment after the onset of the disease, relaxation after a slight improvement, and lack of attention in daily life are the reasons for the recurrence of asthma attacks and the continuous development of the disease. Breathing exercises, swimming, water games, etc., should be done to improve children's physical fitness, improve children's immunity, and prevent asthma attacks.

3. Winter disease and summer treatment

4. Pay attention to the thorough treatment of bronchitis and bronchiolitis in children to prevent the development of asthma.

5. The treatment of asthma is a long-term process, and stable treatment is very important for the treatment of asthma. However, some parents are impatient, improper medication after asthma attack remission, children are not good, what to do with medicine, some can not be treated for a long time due to economic reasons, which has great harm to the child's prognosis, so far, this part of the child suffers from cor pulmonale, the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is very large, and it has a great impact on the child's life and work.

6. Appeal to the guardians of children with asthma not to focus on the treatment during the attack, but to focus on asthma? In the overall and long-term treatment, we strive for the early recovery of children.

How to care for asthma in children at home

Asthma is a physical disease related to psychological stress, that is, psychological stress may induce or aggravate asthma attacks, and the asthma, tension and near-death feelings during asthma attacks stimulate the psychological stress of patients, making mental tension, fear, depression and depression, further reducing the body's immunity, making asthma easy to attack, and causing a vicious circle. Therefore, parents must do more comfort, encouragement, and explanation work for the child.

Parents should try to guide their children to dispel their concerns and fears about asthma and its medications, and encourage them to be self-confident and optimistic. On the one hand, it is necessary to avoid boredom and discrimination against the children, and on the other hand, not to spoil them too much. Do not often ask your child if he is unwell or often say suggestive words such as whether he feels like he or she is about to get sick, so as not to cause mental stress and trigger asthma. Children who have difficulty breathing and signs of seizures can be encouraged to relax as much as possible. For example, deep and slender abdominal breathing.

All in all, parents regard the care of their children, do a good job in the care of their children, solve problems for their children in a timely manner, and let their children recover in time.

Asthma in children

(1) Difficulty breathing

With the onset of aura symptoms, children feel chest tightness, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, their chest is compressed like a heavy stone, and after about 10-15 minutes, the patient with dyspnea is forced to sit, unable to lie flat, head forward, shoulders shrugged. Support your knees with your hands and breathe hard, the seizures can last from tens of minutes to hours, and gradually subside after free moderation or treatment.

(2) Cough and sputum

The precursor stage is generally bronchial mucosal allergy causing cough in children, which is generally dry cough without sputum, and the degree of cough varies. By the time of the attack, the cough tends to lessen, and wheezing is predominant. Towards the end of the seizure, bronchospasm and mucosal edema are reduced, and when a large amount of secretions are discharged, the symptoms of cough and sputum reappear purulent. A small number of patients have no prominent symptoms of muttering, and cough is the only manifestation, which is easily mistaken for chronic bronchitis.

Bronchial asthma care in children

1. Avoid contact with allergens, avoid passive smoking, paint smell, cold water and fruit and other triggers.

2. Pay attention to the prevention of respiratory tract infection, especially respiratory syncytial virus infection, which is closely related to childhood asthma. Actively treat and remove sinusitis, nasal polyps, tonsillitis, dental caries and other infectious lesions.
