Asthma (Triggers and Handling)
Asthma is a condition in which airways are narrowed due to hyperactivity to certain stimuli, which causes inflammation; constriction is temporary.. The contraction pollen, dust, animal dander, smoke, cold air and exercise as may be due to different stimuli.
Swelling and inflammation in the airways caused by mucus in the airways of an asthma attack, bronchospasm, and smooth muscle tissue. The airways (bronchoconstriction) would be the diameter, and this causes a narrowing of the patient should make every effort to breathe.
Some cells in the airways (particularly mast cells), allegedly responsible at the beginning of the range. Histamine and leukotrienes such material in the production of bronchial mast cells, leading to: – smooth muscle contraction – increased production of mucus – compensation of certain white blood cells in the bronchi. But in some people with asthma may have specific allergies. The same reaction occurs when a person is in sports or cold weather. Histamine and leukotrienes release of stress and anxiety can be. Other cells in the asthmatic airway (eosnofil) Other (leukotrienes like) materials, which are causing a narrowing of the airways.
Sympton
Frequency and severity of asthma attacks varies. Some people are often without symptoms, and only small and mild shortness of breath attacks, which experienced at any time.Crying or laughing hard can cause symptoms.
Characterized by sudden attacks of asthma, respiratory (wheezing, shortness of breath, asthma) seem to be coughing and shortness of breath. Shortness of breath sounds, especially when the patient breathes. At other times, asthma attack symptoms that gradually worsened gradually with. The second condition, which was experienced in the first breath of bronchial asthma, cough or chest tightness are suffering. The first symptoms in children can include chest or throat itch. Dry cough at night or during exercise may be the only symptom.
During asthma attacks, shortness of breath may be a more serious concern. In response to the anxiety patients will spend a lot of sweat. Very serious attack, the patient was difficult to tell because the crowd is too much. Confusion, (consciousness, where people like to sleep, but can be a short time and then return immediately to the low state of sleep), sleepiness, and cyanosis (bluish skin looks) is an indication that the patient oxygen is very limited and requires immediate treatment. Although he had a severe attack, patients usually recover completely. Sometimes some of the alveoli (air in the lung cavities) lead to breakage and can cause the air accumulates in the pleural cavity and around the chest due to wind. This problem will increase patient.
Trigger
Asthma is often not known. Asthma often runs in families. And asthma (eczema) and allergies such as eczema may be associated with other conditions. Some triggers of asthma attacks is as follows:
Influenza. The most common triggers of asthma, respiratory infections caused by viruses. Viral infections are common in children about 6-8 times a year. If a child is susceptible to asthma, cough and shortness of breath experienced it from time to time. Virus is not killed by antibiotics because antibiotics were not necessary in the asthma attack.
- Physical Activity
- Climate Change
- Cigarette smoke
- Ticks are found in household dust
- Pollen
- Pets
Asthma attacks can be prevented by avoiding triggers. So, if known triggers, these triggers should be avoided.
Handling
In most children, asthma can be controlled with proper medication. Are two types of drugs in children:
Preemption, (pitcher). An example is Ventolin. This type of therapy is a bronchodilator (: aviation, extender: who makes the bronchial width) is called. As the name suggests, these drugs airways that narrow more easily rise through the air. They optimal effect after inhalation (snorting) offer. In acute attacks, the child will need Ventolin every 2-4 hours. If your child needs more than one dose, you should contact your pediatrician.
Prednisolone. The steroid medication that reduces inflammation, swelling and airway wall is a kind, and helped to make the airways more responsive to bronchodilators. Prednisolone needs 6-8 hours of work. Type of drug in tablet form or administered medication for 2-4 days. These short-term use of prednisolone does not cause side effects or steroids as a whole.
Emptive Strike (BOP). Not every child with asthma, this type of drug. Preventive attack is also consumed by inhalation and should be consumed every day.
Treatment of seizures
The wheezing of asthma, with the most children experienced when they are infected with the virus, there is no treatment for seizures
Inhalation is the best way to get the majority of asthma medication. Absorbent pads to optimize a pump (pump spray) nebulizer and a lot cheaper to work equally well.
