How to treat intrinsic bronchial asthma?

Endogenous bronchial asthma is a disease that is very prone to recurrence. It is an allergic lung disease that often occurs in autumn and winter. There are signs before an attack, such as coughing and runny nose, but people often do not take it seriously and treat it as a cold. When an attack occurs, the patient will feel difficulty breathing, sweat, cough violently, and have phlegm. So, how should this disease be treated?

Endogenous bronchial asthma is asthma caused by infection and often first presents with symptoms of upper and lower respiratory tract infection such as cough and sputum (thick and thick), followed by the gradual appearance and worsening of wheezing symptoms, which also last for a longer time. Laboratory examination showed that blood eosinophils were normal or only slightly increased, serum IgE values ​​were normal, and the increase in airway responsiveness was relatively fixed. For some patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema, due to poor underlying lung function, severe asthma attacks may lead to life-threatening respiratory failure. Repeated and persistent asthma attacks should be prevented, which may lead to complications such as emphysema, cor pulmonale, and heart and lung failure. Actively preventing and promptly treating respiratory tract infections plays a certain role in preventing and treating endogenous asthma caused by infection.

Patients with intrinsic asthma are mostly adults and women. In the early stages of the disease, there are generally no very obvious symptoms, and the symptoms are often similar to those of common diseases such as colds and flu. Sometimes, skin tests may even show a negative reaction. Generally speaking, intrinsic asthma is not as well-responsive to drug treatment as exogenous asthma, and even after treatment, the respiratory tract is not easy to return to normal. I suggest you take TCM treatment, which prescribes medicines based on symptoms and treats based on syndrome differentiation.

Treatment principles: 1. During the acute attack period, the main focus is on controlling asthma.

2. Desensitization therapy. 3. Prevent recurrence.

Health education prescription: 1. Avoid eating fish, shrimp and other foods that are prone to allergies. Do not eat too much, too salty or too sweet. Avoid smoking and drinking to avoid triggering bronchial asthma.

2. Avoid strenuous exercise and perform appropriate physical exercises during the remission period to strengthen your physical fitness and reduce the incidence of infection.

3. Avoid catching cold and prevent respiratory infections.

4. Look for allergic factors, avoid contact with allergens, and avoid placing flowers indoors.

5. Asthma patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease should not use drugs such as ephedrine, isoproterenol, and epinephrine, so as to avoid insufficient blood supply to the heart, inducing angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accidents.

The disease can easily break out suddenly in the middle of the night. Patients should avoid going to crowded places as this may aggravate the condition. They should also exercise appropriately. The above is the editor’s summary of the key points of endogenous bronchitis asthma. I hope it will be valuable to patients and friends. They should also have a good understanding of their own disease while undergoing treatment to avoid worsening of the condition due to lack of understanding of the situation.
