In the modern Chinese dictionary, only two words--interpretation of asthma asthma. Indeed, far from asthma asthma so simple, it is not only persisting refractory, serious or likely to endanger life.
Every time seasons, especially easy spring allergies, hospitals are suffering from this difficult children with increased significantly. Modern medical research shows that only the \"early early treatment\" inhibition asthma attacks and is the best way to avoid long-term injury of heart and lung. Therefore, 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.
Why children with asthma?
Reports indicate: in recent years, this disease has increased the number of children than before. 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.
What factors make asthma so popular
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, but once a child suffering from asthma disease, then pet is most likely to make children\'s conditions deteriorate further.
And more experts are considered: 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.

· Infection: colds, flu and 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 never occurred to us children already suffering from 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 when recurrent upper respiratory tract infection in children, I thought it was a seasonal allergies or colds, but never thought will be 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. Therefore, the expert recommends: child 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
· Children asthma better
Correctly understanding the fact about 50% in children with asthma, long after the adolescent asthma symptoms no longer occur, but the potential for bad state still exists, so some children to adulthood will have obvious symptoms of asthma attack again.
· Moved to a climate more dry places, children\'s asthma can completely cure
Correctly understanding: no 100% place of safety. Although ring
Border effect of asthma on, 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.· Only in some asthma symptoms occur only when exercising, is not really have asthma
Correct understanding 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: 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, reduce indoor allergen is the best measure to prevent asthma attacks, but to do so is not as simple as imagined, therefore, to improve the environment at the same time, medication is necessary.
Experts say: keep good environment and proper medication and not completely cure children asthma, but at least you can make the illness can change from multiple as less and less to not until remain attack such a good direction for long-term development. 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.
