2. What to do if your baby has a cough and asthma

1. If you have a bad cough and have the medicine given by the doctor, you need to take some. All cough medicines contain two ingredients: one is expectorant, which makes the phlegm thin and easy to discharge; The other is antitussives, which are used to anesthetize the tracheal mucosa and suppress the cough, and the two can be combined properly to make the cough gradually subside.

2. People who have difficulty breathing and are accompanied by the sound of a flute every time they breathe are asthmatic. The most important thing at this point is to relieve breathlessness. The child sits forward and massages the back, and most of them are healed. If there is a doctor's prescription, the child should be given it immediately, and in severe cases, the child should go to the hospital immediately.

Precautions

1. The cough makes an empty and empty sound, just like a dog barking, indicating that laryngitis has occurred and it is difficult to breathe, and you must go to the hospital immediately for diagnosis and treatment.

2. Artificial respiration is futile when it is difficult to breathe with cough or asthma. Because at this time, it is only difficult to breathe, the respiratory function is normal, the consciousness is clear, and the airway is not blocked.

3. In addition to treatment, asthma is also related to mental factors, and it is very important to let children live a relaxed and happy life and eliminate the mental burden on asthma.

4. When the cough is severe, pneumonia should be suspected, and even if there is no fever, it is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

The treatment of asthma should be the use of corticosteroid inhalation therapy, the drug is directly inhaled into the respiratory tract, the effect is fast, the systemic absorption is less, and part of the absorption can also be metabolized and excreted by the liver within 2 hours. It has no effect on children's growth and development, and is currently considered the most effective treatment for chronic asthma control in the world.

3. Dietary therapy for asthma

In our traditional Chinese medicine, dietary therapy is called the homology of medicine and food, the doctor's medicine, the food of food, the homology of medicine and food, or the homology of medicine and food, and many foods can be used in medicine, medicine, and diet. For example, walnuts can be used as a kidney tonic and can also be used as food, which is a good food.

During the acute asthma attack, patients are advised to eat a light diet and eat light, not greasy and fatty food. For example, when the attack is severe, you can use white rice porridge, which has a sweet smell, nourishes the stomach, and is easy to digest. Therefore, patients who are often clinically sick cook porridge and eat it when it is an acute attack.

For patients with asthma in this way, children and adults can also use the method of cooking porridge and drinking tea to supplement the deficiency of human spleen, stomach and lung qi. During the specific remission period, you can use dried ginger, licorice, jujube, jujube and white rice to cook porridge, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach and removing cold, which is beneficial to physical deficiency and cold, and can be cooked and eaten in the morning. If you are a child with spleen deficiency and asthma, you can cook porridge with Huaishan, jujube, coix, and white rice during remission and eat it often.

Clinically, eat porridge in the morning, eat porridge, eat the spleen and stomach every day, jujube strengthens the spleen and stomach to replenish blood gas, coix has the role of profit, the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, white rice is sweet and nourishes the stomach, and it also has the effect of cultivating the soil and producing gold after nourishing the stomach, the spleen rises, the lung qi rises, and the lung function is sound if the physique belongsKidney deficiencyChildren with asthma can use walnuts, dates, yams, and white rice to cook porridge to tonify the kidney, spleen and kidney. The spleen function is sound, the nutrient absorption is good, the kidney function is also improved, and the effect of slowly tonifying the kidney has also been obtained.

4 causes of asthma in children

The incidence of asthma around the world is between 0.1%~32%, with a difference of nearly 300 times, which may be related to genetics, age, geographical location, climate, environment, ethnicity, industrialization, urbanization, interior decoration, living standards, dietary habits, etc.

There are many factors that trigger bronchial asthma, but common factors include:

Allergies (10%):

Allergenic substances are broadly divided into:

(1) Infectious pathogens and their toxins, childhood asthma attacks are closely related to respiratory tract infections, more than 95% of infant asthma is respiratory tract infection, and the main pathogens are respiratory viruses (RSV), adenoviruses, influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, etc. At present, respiratory syncytial virus infection has specific IgE introduction type I allergic reactions that cause respiration, and other local infections such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, and dental caries may also be predisposing factors.

(2) Inhalation: usually inhaled from the respiratory tract, according to domestic skin tests, the main allergens of asthma are mites, house dust, mold, polyvalent pollen (Artemisia annua, ragweed), feathers, etc. Asthma caused by exposure to silkworms, especially mites as inhaled allergens, has an important place in respiratory allergic diseases. There are more allergies to mites in childhood than in adults, and spring and autumn are the best seasons for mites to survive. Therefore, mite asthma is more common in spring and autumn, and there are more people who develop it at night. In addition, asthma attacks caused by inhalation allergies are mostly related to the season, region, and living environment, and symptoms can be reduced or disappeared after cessation of exposure.

(3) Food: mainly milk, eggs, shrimp, spices and other allogeneic proteins. Food allergies are common in infancy and gradually decrease after 4~5 years old.

non-specific stimuli (20%):

Such as dust, smoke (including smoke and mosquito coils), odors (industrial irritating gases, the smell of conditioning oils and the smell of oily knees), etc., these substances are non-antigenic substances, which stimulate the endpoints of the sensory nerves of the bronchial mucosa and the labyrinth nerve, and sometimes inhalation of cold air can also induce bronchospasm. Some scholars believe that the increasing air pollution may also be one of the important reasons for the increase in the rate of bronchial asthma.

Climatic factors (5%):

Children are sensitive to climate change, and asthma attacks can be triggered by sudden colder temperatures or lower air pressure. As a result, the incidence of disease in children generally increases significantly in spring and autumn.

Mental factors (5%):

In childhood asthma, mental factors cause asthma attacks more obviously than adults, but children with asthma are also often affected by emotions, such as crying, impulsivity, fear, and other asthma attacks. Some scholars have confirmed that emotional excitement or other disorders of mental activity are often accompanied by nervous excitement.

Genetic factors (10%):

Asthma is hereditary, and the prevalence of family and personal allergies, such as asthma, infantile eczema, urticaria, allergic rhinitis, etc., is higher than that of the general population.

Exercise (40%):

It has been reported that about 90% of children with asthma can often trigger asthma after exercise, also known as exercise-induced asthma (EIA), which is more common in older children. Asthma is most likely to be triggered after running that lasts vigorously (more than 5-10 minutes).

Medications (10%):

Drug-induced asthma is also common. There are two main classes of drugs, one is aspirin and similar antipyretic analgesics, which can cause so-called endogenous asthma. If it is accompanied by sinusitis and nasal polyps, it is called aspirin triad, and other similar drugs include indomethacin, mefenamic acid, etc. The mechanism of asthma may be that aspirin inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, resulting in a decrease in cAMP content and the release of chemical mediators to cause asthma. This type of asthma tends to decrease with age and decreases after puberty; Another class of drugs is drugs that act on the heart, such as propranolol, which can block β receptors and cause asthma, in addition, many spray inhalers can also cause bronchospasm due to stimulation of throat reflexes, such as sodium cromolyn, phlegm easy to clean, etc., others such as iodine oil imaging, sulfonamide allergy can also often induce asthma attacks.

5. Pediatric asthma care

(1) Diet and nourishment.

Eat a light and nutritious diet, don't eat foods and hair that can cause asthma attacks, and don't eat spicy and greasy foods. Eat more vegetables and fruits such as radish, loofah, pear, banana, loquat, etc. Keep your bowel movements smooth every day.

(2) Pay attention to calcium supplementation.

Calcium has anti-allergic properties, and asthma patients can eat more calcium-containing foods. However, when using seafood for calcium supplementation, care should be taken to prevent allergies. This is also important in the care of asthma.

(3) Exercise properly.

Asthma sufferers can take appropriate walks and deep breathing exercises. The patient is placed in a supine position, with both hands overlapped at the umbilicus, inhaling through the nose and slowly exhaling with the pursed lips, and slightly pressing into the abdomen with both hands. Stop as you walk, take a deep breath, and walk while exhaling slowly. Breathe with your lips contracted, breathe slowly through your nose, whistle as you breathe through your mouth, and follow the rhythm to clean your breath as much as possible. Practice for 3~5 minutes each time, several times a day.

(4) Drink plenty of water.

This is also a care note for people with asthma. It is important for asthma sufferers to drink plenty of fluids, which not only replenish water but also dilute phlegm.
