How to treat asthma in the elderly

Strictly speaking, elderly asthma is a type of asthma. There is just one difference, that is, because the patients are elderly people, the asthma in the elderly is different from the asthma in ordinary people. The biggest difference may be that the treatment of asthma in the elderly is much more complicated than the treatment of general asthma. Therefore, in reality, there are still many treatments being studied for elderly asthma. So, how does medicine currently treat asthma in the elderly?

In fact, there are many similarities between the current medical treatments for elderly asthma and general asthma. The treatment for asthma in the elderly is generally Western medicine, which is generally based on drugs, so the treatment effect for asthma in the elderly is actually not very good. Let’s talk about specific methods for treating asthma in the elderly.

Most asthma in the elderly is caused by allergic constitution or allergic rhinitis, so desensitization treatment should be given.

Asthma attacks usually occur suddenly and are more severe at night. If you feel very uncomfortable with the breathlessness, you can stop breathing quickly by inhaling salbutamol aerosol immediately, but it should not be used frequently. To treat asthma, allergic inflammation of the upper and lower respiratory tracts should be eliminated at the same time, and desensitization treatment and preventive treatment should be used to cure it.

Currently, the main choice on the market is traditional Chinese medicine treatment, because it has great advantages. For example, the principles of traditional Chinese medicine treatment are to strengthen the spleen and replenish Qi: sneezing and runny nose when exposed to cold wind are caused by the deficiency of Wei Qi and the inability to resist external evil. The treatment should focus on replenishing Qi and enhancing the Wei function. The spleen is the foundation of acquired constitution and the source of Qi and blood metabolism. Strengthening the spleen and replenishing Qi can make Qi and blood full and enhance disease resistance.

There are now many methods for treating elderly asthma, so patients no longer have to worry about how to treat elderly asthma. The primary principle of magnetic patch therapy is to run the medicinal power through the meridians to expel pathogens.

The most ideal way to cure the root cause is "back application, warming and unblocking the acupoints, promoting the smooth flow of qi and blood, and expelling evil spirits and showing merits". It has the effect of double stimulation of acupoints, stimulating yang energy to dredge the meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, and coordinating the internal organs to balance, achieving the effects of clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm, relieving cough and relieving asthma.

Through the detailed introduction in the above article, we know one thing, that is, for elderly asthma patients, the best medical treatment currently should be traditional Chinese medicine. Because traditional Chinese medicine can not only treat the symptoms of elderly asthma, but also cure the root cause, which is the treatment effect that many elderly asthma patients hope to achieve. Therefore, in the future, if our elderly friends suffer from asthma, please remember that they can use traditional Chinese medicine to treat it.
