How to prevent variant asthma

In life, many people confuse colds and asthma, but there are many classifications of asthma. Of course, different types of asthma have different causes and treatments, among which variant asthma is a type of asthma. For many diseases, if they can be prevented, many problems can be reduced. So, how to prevent variant asthma?

1. Actively look for allergens. Common causes include inhalation of certain plant pollens, house dust, mites, fungal spores, animal dander, fish and shrimp in food, or contact with paint dyes. Asthma is caused by dust mites and desensitization treatment should be carried out promptly.

2. Avoid inducements. There are three possible causes of cough variant asthma: first, climate change, with winter and spring being the peak seasons, and cold air stimulation being the main cause, so you must take good warm protection, especially when going out, you must wear warm clothes and a mask; second, coughing worsens after exercise, so children with this type of asthma should avoid strenuous exercise; third, emotional excitement, crying and making a fuss can also induce coughing attacks, so try to keep the child emotionally stable.

3. Enhance the body's immune function. Cough variant asthma is actually asthma, and asthma is an allergic disease, that is, allergic reaction caused by abnormal immune function. Therefore, we should pay attention to improving and enhancing the body's immune function.

4. Take medicine on time. Cough variant asthma is also a disease that requires continuous treatment, so patients must follow the doctor's instructions to take medication, otherwise it will easily cause recurrence of the disease and eventually lead to severe asthma or emphysema.

5. Pay attention to environmental hygiene: common ones include inhaling certain plant pollens, house dust, mites, fungal spores, animal dander, fish and shrimp in food, or contact with paint dyes. Or eating foods that cause allergic symptoms; having pets and flowers at home; children having long-haired toys; turbid indoor air, etc. may induce cough variant asthma.

6. Keep warm: cold air, changes in air humidity, and high and low air pressure can all trigger allergic coughs. The incidence of allergic cough increases significantly in areas with large temperature differences, high humidity or low air pressure. When patients with allergic cough in these areas go to areas with dry climate and higher air pressure, their allergic cough can often be relieved. The mechanism by which cold air induces allergic cough is that cold air can cause heat loss in the airways, causing mast cells to release mediators, directly or indirectly inducing airway inflammation and causing allergic cough attacks. Temperatures that are too high or too low are both adverse factors for allergic cough.

7. Avoid excessive exercise and emotional excitement: Examples of exercise-induced allergic cough are very common in clinical practice. For most patients with allergic cough, exercise is only a triggering factor, while for patients with exercise-induced allergic cough, exercise may be the causative factor. In fact, all patients with allergic cough and some patients with allergic rhinitis may experience wheezing symptoms after a certain amount of exercise. Its mechanism is related to hyperventilation caused by excessive exercise, which leads to excessive airway heat loss and cooling of the airway environment, thereby inducing mast cells to release inflammatory mediators and causing airway inflammation. Hyperventilation caused by laughing, crying and making a fuss in children with allergic cough often induces wheezing symptoms.

8. Enhance the body's immune function: Cough variant asthma is actually asthma, and asthma is an allergic disease, that is, allergic reactions are caused by abnormal immune function. Therefore, attention should be paid to improving and enhancing the body's immune function.

9. Control attacks: Children's cough variant asthma attacks can be treated with the same medication as ordinary asthma.

The above article introduces six ways to prevent asthma. I hope the above content can help everyone. In fact, many diseases can be reduced as long as appropriate prevention is done. Moreover, asthma is largely related to the environment and lifestyle habits. I hope everyone will pay attention to it.
