Dust allergy asthma

Asthma is a very harmful disease, especially its attacks pose a great threat to the patient's health. Dust allergy asthma is mainly caused by various tiny dust particles. We need to learn as much as possible about this type of asthma. In addition to actively receiving treatment, we should take daily preventive measures to avoid recurring asthma attacks. Let’s take a closer look below.

Dust allergy asthma is an inhalation allergy. When people who are allergic to dust inhale dust, they will experience allergic symptoms such as itchy nose, itchy skin, itchy eyes, wheezing, coughing, etc.

Dust allergy asthma has precursor symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, coughing, chest tightness, etc. If not treated in time, asthma may occur due to worsening bronchial obstruction. In severe cases, the patient may be forced to sit or sit up to breathe, have a dry cough or cough up a lot of white foamy sputum, and even cyanosis. But generally it can be relieved by self-treatment or with anti-asthmatic drugs. Some patients may have another attack a few hours after relief, or even develop status asthmaticus.

The easiest way to avoid allergies is to stay away from the allergen - dust. Try to avoid direct contact with dust, and bring desensitization drugs such as diphenhydramine, astemizole, etc. If you experience itchy skin, fever, cough, or shortness of breath, you should leave the place quickly. If the symptoms are mild, you can take oral omeprazole on your own. Once asthma symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

Try to spend as little time outdoors as possible during the day, especially during times of the day when pollen levels are high, such as in the evening on sunny days. When doing outdoor activities and various sports, try to choose times when the pollen index is lowest, such as early morning, late at night, or after a shower.

Wearing glasses can reduce the chances of your eyes being affected, so try wearing glasses with lenses instead of contact lenses, or wear sunglasses when you go out.

If you're outside when the pollen index is high, remember to change into clean clothes when you return.

Keep doors and windows closed during the day to prevent pollen from flying in.

If possible, try to schedule your vacation during hay fever season and take advantage of it. You might consider a vacation to the seaside, as sea breezes will make the air almost pollen-free, or you can consider choosing a vacation in a country where there are no triggers that may cause your allergies. Do not hang clothes outdoors. Dry clothes indoors as much as possible (using a dryer is better). Do not hang clothes outdoors, otherwise clothes, quilts, sheets, etc. will easily be contaminated with pollen.

Consider buying an in-car air filter. If you are considering buying a new car, you might want to buy one that has a pollen filter as part of its air conditioning system. This small filter has become more and more common. It is not only equipped in luxury cars, but also installed in many small cars.

Avoid anything that may make your symptoms worse, such as dust and road odors.
