Know a little about “medicine” | How to prevent and treat bronchial asthma in winter?

With the coming of winter, bronchial asthma patients are easily stimulated by cold air, catching a cold, and causing asthma attacks. How should they prevent and treat it?

Bronchial asthma is an inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract and also an allergic disease. In winter, the patient's airway is in a highly reactive state. If it is stimulated by cold air and causes bronchial smooth muscle spasm, it will lead to an asthma attack. For bronchial asthma, patients need to remember the combination of "prevention + treatment". Keep the room ventilated, avoid contact with allergens, keep warm, and avoid catching a cold. Exercise properly, eat a reasonable diet, eat more foods rich in vitamins and proteins, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and improve the body's immunity. Take medicine on time and regularly. Commonly used drugs for controlling asthma include inhaled corticosteroids, leukotriene receptor antagonists, etc., which control asthma within a certain range through anti-inflammatory effects. Short-acting β2 receptor agonists, including salbutamol aerosol, can be used for acute asthma attacks. At the same time, patients should have regular follow-up visits and adjust treatment plans in a timely manner to prevent problems before they occur.
