Childhood asthma in the control

Another died of asthma in children, such as self-healing
"Children grow up like asthma, the administration does not really matter where he was certified dead." For asthma in children, some parents with this attitude, the child's condition and care, or rule governing stop, in fact, this is very wrong, and easily so that children with recurrent asthma, persistent to adults, may also trigger a dangerous period.

"The incidence of asthma has its own laws, about 50% of pediatric patients with asthma in pre-school or puberty may alleviate the condition." Friendship Hospital medical director of children Professor Lu said, "This is because the process of growth and development in children, because of the body immune, endocrine and other changes in function, asthma will naturally ease, you may control the development of asthma, but not all of the children to achieve this natural state of ease. "

And if the treatment of asthma is not serious, just waiting for its self-healing in this process, recurrent asthma, inflammation repeated stimulation, the airway would fibrous tissue hyperplasia, increased gland, smooth muscle hypertrophy, resulting in severe airway structure Plastic, decreased lung function, the damage is permanent, irreversible, and will seriously affect the child's growth and development, and even lead to sudden death due to an asthma attack.

Therefore the treatment of asthma in childhood is the most critical period, and the sooner the treatment of asthma in children the better. After a reasonable, standardized treatment, asthma can be controlled to avoid the development of adult asthma.

Inhaled corticosteroid side-effects of a small

At present, the treatment of pediatric asthma is the most effective drugs glucocorticoid inhalation. In fact, because asthma is a chronic allergic airway inflammation, but this is different from the normal inflammatory said inflammation caused by bacteria, antibiotics have no effect.

I have heard many parents feel that the side effects of hormones on a large, do not want to use. In fact, inhaled corticosteroid treatment, a small amount of estrogen a day, the volume of the inhalation of less than 400 micrograms, and the drug can act directly on airway lesion, systemic absorption of small, side-effects is very small.

Abroad have been 9 years follow-up study found that use of inhaled corticosteroid treatment in children with asthma compared with normal children of the same age, in height, weight and other indicators and non-discriminatory.

Rule by rule must not stop hormone

Note that the majority of children with the needs of long-term use of inhaled corticosteroid to control asthma in the development of governance must not stop rule because the airway is the persistence of inflammatory response, but increase the attack, reduce the remission.

Only by continuing the use of local hormone therapy in order to truly eliminate airway inflammation, this process is usually 3 to 5 years. But there are also some children with mild, seasonal attack to take treatment, you can achieve very good results.

Finally, Professor Lu said that as a result of the fall of the temperature changes, and 20 ~ 30 ℃, the temperature most suitable for mite allergens, such as breeding, so now is the peak incidence of asthma, asthma in children caused by parents must be alert to children standardize the treatment.
