Asthma is a chronic disease in recent years, this disease has increased the number of children than before, it should blame air pollution also are not sure, but each of the seasons, especially easy spring allergies, hospital suffering from the respiratory disease in children will increase.
So we have chosen this time to learn more about this and you are more and more invasive diseases of children, hope this spring, every child can be pleasant breath.
While some parents are \"da Jing Xiao guai\" type, but there are also many parents unaware of their children have asthma symptoms, or mistakenly think symptom less or is occasional symptoms, don\'t worry about it. However, research suggests that only \"early early treatment\" inhibition asthma attacks and is the best way to avoid long-term injury of heart and lung.
Why do children have asthma has increased?
From the perspective of dialectical, perhaps because today\'s doctors to earlier and more accurately identify the disease, so look increased incidence of asthma. Once environmental pollution is determined to be an important factor in causing asthma, but some of the more serious environmental pollution in the country the incidence of asthma is not as high as people think. So, what causes asthma epidemic of it then?
Asthma, like allergy, is caused because the immune system is too sensitive. That is, when children are very young, most likely too clean environment in which they live, as well as their immune systems fight without complex of flora with the outside world. In the United States a study has found that when children in infancy, and the other children and their contacts with flora, so the babies can actually decrease the likelihood of suffering from asthma. Another survey found that, if keeping a pet in the House, may also decrease the likelihood of children suffering from asthma. (However, once the diseases of children suffering from asthma, then pet is most likely to further deterioration of the condition of the child)
More experts believe that asthma so popular the most reasonable explanation is that the children spend too much time in indoor activities, more access to asthma induced by stimuli, such as dust, mold, smoke exhaled smoke and indoor cockroaches. Especially in winter, the children always stay in a warm home for fear of cold home ventilation. And now overweight children are more and more, this is also one of the causes of asthma.
The factors causing asthma attacks
1. pet dust of pollen allergen mold (especially in the humidifier of moulds) cockroach
2. dramatic activity to intensive exercises laughed loud cry cry
3. stimuli resulting from smoking or burning stove smoke smell smoke strong perfume spray chemical agents or
4. infection with the common cold and influenza flu sinus infections
Some being misdiagnosed with asthma
Asthma symptoms, and some less serious symptoms of the disease similar to, such as respiratory tract infections, so we did not think children have asthma. The past, many doctors think that breathing difficulty is the main feature of asthma, but now, long cough is thought to be most obvious symptoms of children suffer from asthma. Have an 8 year old boy, a year of uninterrupted cough, antibiotics after class of drugs is also not good. His mother never thought that children would get asthma, because his son had difficulty breathing phenomenon doesn\'t appear at all. Once children cough lasted for 4 months, doctors advise children to find lung disease experts take a look at and was diagnosed with asthma, the results surprise mother of the child. But fortunately, her children have been confirmed, then wait until the child asthma symptoms when emergency attack, God parents not to panic, was overwhelmed.
From a genetic perspective, if the parents suffer from allergies or asthma, then children have greater chance of the disease. According to statistics, 80% at the same time suffer from allergies in children with asthma. When a 2-year old boy\'s mother learned that her child is diagnosed with asthma, was shocked: \"I myself was seasonal allergic Constitution, I found that my son is allergic skin easily, may also be caused by allergies. So, for a period of time my child recurrent upper respiratory tract infection, I also think that just seasonal allergies or colds, never considered is asthma so severe disease. \"
Younger children are more likely to be misdiagnosed. For younger infants, because natural respiratory tract stricture, not normal, so shortness of breath and cough is a common phenomenon. However, have found that does have a lot of babies and children suffering from asthma disease of two or three years. Children before the age of 3, if there have been 4 times or more than 4 times short of breath difficult circumstances, they should bring their baby to the hospital to see if suffering from asthma.

Common misunderstandings about asthma
1. asthma in children would be nice.
Fact: about half of the children suffering from asthma, long after the adolescent asthma symptoms no longer occur, but the potential for bad or is there. Also, you have some children to adulthood will have obvious symptoms of asthma attack again.
2. the family move to a climate of more dry place, can completely cure children asthma.
Fact: no place is absolutely safe. Although the climate and environment on children\'s asthma are some of the areas affected, for example, in wet areas of high levels of respirable particles in the air, spreading of pollen levels in some areas more serious, so easy to trigger asthma attacks. However, the children moved to a new environment, such as after a better place, they often will be allergic to some other new things and lead to asthma attacks.
3. only in some asthma symptoms occur only when exercising, is not really had asthma.
Fact: one of exercise-induced asthma is asthma disease, when people were running, climbing or doing strenuous exercise when a sudden attack. This type of asthma by simple drug treatment on it.
Prevention and treatment of asthma
At present, with the broadening and deepening the study, understanding of the causes and symptoms of asthma has been some progress, so asthma treatment methods have changed. Yiqian, doctors often assume that asthma is caused by muscle contraction around the trachea. Therefore, the most extensive drug treatment approach is to use pipe expansion agent, this drug can play a role in muscle relaxation and expansion and can quickly relieve asthma attacks. But a new view is that asthma is caused by inflammation of trachea internal potential, internal expansion and excessive secretion of mucus cause bronchial endotracheal ventilation space dramatically narrowed. In order to eliminate this inflammation, experts recommend the use of corticosteroid inhalation. (Note: to date, many experts believe that children under 3 years required careful use of steroids for inhalation. ）
In fact, is the best preventive measures reduce indoor allergen. Although, keep good environment and proper medication and not completely cure children asthma, but at least you can make the illness towards the direction of improvement. Of course, if a child has asthma, or is or belt he went to the hospital to check on a regular basis to prevent repeated and increasing illness.
If your child continues to have the following phenomena, then suggests that he is still not fully recovered.
Running or doing other sports also cough or chest pain;
Also cough at night or waking breath of gas, it feels;
Using pipe expansion agent 12 minutes later, the symptoms without any mitigation and improved, or have a better, but again less than 4 hours of recurrent;
Enables the freedom blow gas can cause coughing;
As felt suffocating and often can\'t go to school;
Because of breathing difficulties and was taken to the emergency room or hospital for treatment.
