Can asthma be contagious?

In fact, many people worry that asthma is contagious, but asthma is not an infectious disease, so everyone should pay attention to understand this aspect. However, you should be cautious when using medication to treat asthma, and try to create a good living space and environment for patients.

1. Asthma is not an infectious disease. Since ancient times, asthma has not been cured by medicine. That is to say, to this day, no specific drug product that can cure chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been developed, whether in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. The lungs are not only metabolic organs, but also immune organs.

2 Although the immune system function of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is low, there is still a basis for controlling the progression of the disease or recovering. Matters that asthma patients should pay special attention to in drug treatment: Patients with chronic bronchitis and asthma should not use antibiotics, as antibiotics can directly lead to a weakened immune system.

3. The medications used by patients should mainly be those that relieve symptoms: relieve cough and resolve phlegm, nourish the lungs and regulate qi, etc. Methods for achieving adequate control or cure of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (bronchitis, asthma):

4. Keep the living space clean for a long time, ventilate frequently (even in winter), close windows and doors, which will make the indoor space dirty and create conditions for respiratory infections. Stay away from roads and other polluted environments to prevent the possibility of respiratory infections such as colds.

5. It is very important for severe and extremely severe patients to breathe oxygen every day to prevent complications caused by long-term insufficient blood supply to the heart - heart failure. Make a habit of taking gentle, deep breaths (gasping for air) more often.
