Why should be careful "cold asthma" in summer

BY Iris Wheatley 2020-08-01

   Recently, there are many children who suffer from summer inflammation, extreme heat, and acute asthma attacks. Some people call the summer asthma "cold asthma". Although there is no definition of "cold asthma" in our western medicine textbooks, this "cold asthma" has attracted more and more attention. The cold here is related to the "cold" phenomenon that appears in summer. The cold wind in the air conditioner, the "cold" stimulus in the drink, and the cool wind that suddenly blows in the middle of the night are all possible factors that induce asthma.

  The study found that asthma patients encountered Cold air, cold wind, or eating cold drinks or frozen foods can easily cause asthma attacks. Nowadays, people''s living standards have improved, and every household has been equipped with air conditioners. At the same time, there are many varieties of iced meals. When the child sweats into the room from the outside and eats a cold diet, these, for a child with allergies, just like the sudden change from summer to late autumn, the upper respiratory tract will be suddenly affected by cold air or cold food The attack caused the trachea and bronchus in a high-responsive state to spasm reflexively, causing coughing and wheezing. In addition, the air in the room where the air conditioner is used cannot be updated in time. Viruses and dust accumulated in the air conditioner and mites are also causes of asthma. Therefore, "cold asthma" appeared like this.

Of course, parents should not talk about "cold" discoloration, "cold" is just a possible incentive. Not all children will have this situation, nor does it mean that children with asthma cannot blow air conditioning. Rather, it is necessary to avoid children with asthma facing such a large temperature difference. To deal with this situation, our parents should take specific measures to prevent "cold" for their children. For example, when using an air conditioner, it must be noted that the difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature should not exceed 5°C, and the air outlet of the air conditioner should not be directed at the child; when entering the room from a hot outdoor, do not enter the air-conditioned room immediately , Not to mention "Cold" means taking out cold drinks from the refrigerator and drinking them. You can wipe off your sweat with a dry towel, drink some warm water, and enjoy the coolness after your mood is stable; the air-conditioned room should be cleaned thoroughly every day, and the windows should be opened regularly for ventilation; Do more physical exercises such as swimming and health gymnastics to enhance physical fitness. In addition, in the room where the air conditioner is used, it must be thoroughly cleaned every day, and the windows should be opened regularly for ventilation; more updates are made, and the virus and dust accumulated in the air conditioner, and the filter should be cleaned frequently.

   Someone asks, what are the four-season cycle adjustment methods to increase the resistance of children and reduce the occurrence of asthma? Our Chinese medicine is profound and profound. There are indeed many methods of Chinese medicine. Parents can find professional Chinese medicine experts for consultation. As a Western medicine, I have never rejected simultaneous treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. From the perspective of our Western medicine. It is important to prevent children from getting sick and avoid allergens. Follow the doctor''s instructions to use the medicine on time, regularly consult the doctor to adjust the medicine, and do not stop the medicine without permission. This is the most important factor to prevent the recurrence of asthma.

  According to our clinical observation, the reason why many children with asthma repeatedly fall ill is that they cannot cooperate with doctors for long-term follow-up and medication.

  Although asthma is one of the common diseases in pediatrics, it seems to be a simple disease, but treatment requires individualized long-term treatment, and requires regular follow-up and continuous adjustment of the treatment plan. Many parents, when they see their child is not breathing, take it lightly and stop the child from insisting on medication. As a result, the weather changes and the child''s asthma attacks again.

  Asthma is a respiratory disease caused by allergies, that is, chronic inflammation of the airways. This chronic inflammation causes thickening of the mucosa of the airways and narrowing of the airways, resulting in asthma attacks. Infants and young children are more prone to stenosis and morbidity because the airway development is not yet perfect and the lumen is small. As we grow older, the airway gradually develops and the lumen becomes larger. Even with mild allergic inflammation, it is not easy to develop. This is why we know that many people think that asthma can "self-heal" when it reaches puberty. In fact, this is not a self-healing, but a reduction in seizures. According to research, about 45% of patients without regular treatment can heal themselves, and about 95% of patients with regular treatment can heal themselves. Therefore, in order to have less recurrence of asthma, strong physical fitness is fundamental, and regular treatment is the key.
