1、 What's the matter with asthma
Asthma is called bronchial asthma. Medical information network learned that bronchial asthma is a chronic airway inflammation, which is participated by a variety of cells and cell components. This inflammation often increases the airway reactivity, and there will be recurrent symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness or cough. Moreover, asthma is not easy to cure, and most of it depends on drug treatment. Asthma usually occurs at night or early in the morning. The symptoms are accompanied by extensive and variable airflow obstruction, which can be reversed by patients themselves or through treatment.
2、 Five principles of asthma nursing in winter
1. Pay attention to keeping warm when wearing clothes
In winter, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is relatively large, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large. Therefore, it is not appropriate to reduce clothes too early to avoid aggravating asthma due to cold. In terms of dressing, we should also pay great attention to the material of clothes. Try not to choose chemical fiber clothing, cashmere or animal fur, so as to prevent asthma attack caused by environmental factors. Underwear can be made of pure cotton. The fabric can be smooth, and the clothes should not be too tight.
2. The residence should be hygienic and ventilated regularly
The living environment of asthma patients should ensure sufficient sunshine, maintain a certain temperature and humidity, and open windows regularly to maintain air circulation. Do not keep pets. Try to avoid placing flowers, grass, carpets, feather products, etc. in the room. Carry out general cleaning regularly. Pay attention not to raise dust during cleaning. Many invisible mites, molds and other microorganisms are often parasitic in the dust in carpets, sofas and air conditioners. If you don't pay attention, it is easy to induce or aggravate asthma. In addition, articles such as bedding should be washed and dried frequently to reduce the breeding of dust mites, molds and other microorganisms.
3. Stay away from allergens
By keeping away from allergens, we can get away from allergic asthma. Try to avoid contact with possible allergic substances when going out, or increase the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the indoor air, which can effectively prevent the onset of allergic asthma. For example, often clean the room, pay attention to bed hygiene, avoid contact with pollen, and avoid stimulating gas, smoke, dust and oil fume. For patients with pets, pets should be prohibited from running and jumping in their environment and not lying on clothes. In fact, keeping away from pets can prevent and care for asthma better than removing allergic hair with adhesive tape and wet towel.
4. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition
Asthmatic patients should avoid foods that induce asthma, such as fish, eggs, shrimp, etc. Usually you can eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements, such as lean meat, eggs, bean products, fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition, when patients with asthma attack, do not eat while talking. Light liquid or semi liquid diet can be given when alleviating.
5. Take more exercise to strengthen your physique
In daily life, we should prevent excessive fatigue, avoid mental tension and strenuous exercise, ensure adequate sleep for patients, carry out more physical exercise, enhance physique, improve the adaptability and tolerance of the body to seasonal and temperature changes, and reduce the incidence of asthma.
We all know that asthma is not easy to cure. Once it is obtained, it may be accompanied by a lifetime. Therefore, it is most important to stay away from asthma and enhance your physique. In fact, it is possible to cure asthma in childhood, because the physique in preschool and adolescence is continuously enhanced, and the self immunity is also improved. As long as we can comply with the child's growth law for treatment, asthma can be effectively controlled. The elderly are usually hard to cure after suffering from asthma, and sudden attacks of asthma are also prone to life-threatening. Therefore, it is recommended that patients usually carry bronchodilated sprays to prepare for accidents.
3、 Prevention and treatment of asthma in winter
1. Adhere to medication
Many patients with asthma think that they will be cured without recurrence after taking drugs for a period of time, so they will no longer take drugs. In fact, this idea is incorrect. Because our drugs only control the current condition, but can not achieve the effect of radical cure. If we stop taking drugs halfway, asthma is very easy to relapse. Therefore, generally speaking, asthma patients should adhere to taking drugs for at least two years. If the situation improves, they can stop taking drugs.
2. Diet and recuperation
The diet of asthmatic patients should be light and nutritious. Never eat food that is easy to cause asthma attack, do not eat spicy fried and other irritating greasy food, and avoid tobacco, alcohol and salty food. Tobacco, alcohol and salty food are easy to cause bronchial reaction, which will aggravate the cough of asthmatic patients. You can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as radish, pear, banana and loquat.
3. Pay attention to calcium supplement
Calcium supplementation is also an important part of asthma prevention and nursing. Because calcium has anti allergy function, asthmatic patients can eat more foods with high calcium content, but when eating seafood to supplement calcium, they should prevent allergy.
4. Drink more tea or water
Patients with asthma can drink more water. Drinking water can not only supplement water, but also dilute sputum; Drinking more tea is because tea contains theophylline, which can make the sympathetic nerve more excited, so as to promote bronchiectasis and reduce the symptoms of asthma.
4、 Summary
Asthma is indeed a disease that does great harm to human health. The symptoms of bronchial asthma are often aggravated with the changes of weather and temperature. Winter is also the prone season of asthma. If you don't pay attention to prevention, you will easily suffer from asthma or recurrent attacks, and even aggravate the condition of asthmatic patients, which will endanger life safety. However, even if asthma cannot be cured, if asthma patients can actively prevent, pay attention to nursing, correctly use drugs and adhere to treatment, they can effectively reduce the number of asthma attacks.
