Can asthma be eradicated?

When it comes to asthma, many people are familiar with it. This is a common respiratory disease. Traditional Chinese medicine defines asthma as a root of disease (or "old root") in the human body - hidden phlegm. Generally, patients will develop the disease after encountering temperature changes, food allergies, emotional excitement, etc., and experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing and purple lips, and need to seek medical attention in time. So, can asthma be eradicated?

Asthma can be divided into an acute attack period, a remission period, and an intermittent period in between.

The disease is difficult to treat, and the course of the disease is often protracted and difficult to cure. Western medicine believes that it is a gene-related genetic disease, which is essentially a chronic inflammation. Anti-inflammatory drugs are often ineffective. The first choice for treatment is hormone inhalation therapy, or the addition of some bronchodilators such as Boliconide, Meprofen or Aminophylline to control the disease. Singulair resists the leukotriene pathway, but it still cannot eradicate the disease, and is considered difficult to cure.

"But traditional Chinese medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine, can treat the child under the guidance of its unique theory to remove and dissolve the hidden phlegm, which may help the child alleviate the symptoms or reduce the number of attacks, or even have no attacks for 3-5 years. Then, during puberty, the child's physical condition will be improved. In this way, the child will not be bothered by asthma in adulthood."

How to treat asthma specifically

1. During the acute attack of asthma, Chinese and Western medicine complement each other. If Chinese herbal medicine can control the condition, Chinese herbal medicine alone can be used during the attack, or the doctor can add hormone nebulization and other treatments depending on the situation, and intravenous medication can be used when necessary.

2. Seize the time during the remission period, as it is the key to changing your physical condition, especially in the hot summer when the Yang energy is strong. Diseases such as asthma tend to be relatively alleviated. You can take Chinese herbal decoctions orally, or apply acupuncture points to treat winter diseases in summer, and other external treatments. Among them, external treatment has less difficulty in taking medicine and is easier for young children to accept. Alternatively, you can take winter paste prescriptions for oral tonic in the cold winter season. Pastes taste better than general decoctions and are suitable for long-term use.

3. During the intervals between attacks, Chinese herbal medicine and nebulizer inhalation treatment can be used when necessary.

4. In seasons when the weather changes quickly, such as the turn of summer and autumn, take precautions in advance. Chinese medicine emphasizes preventing illness before it occurs, and prevention is the priority. Take Chinese medicine in advance.

5. At the same time, for children under 6 years old, the meridians are more sensitive, and they are suitable for a very green treatment plan, that is, Chinese medicine massage. You can go to the massage department of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to do it once, and then learn it by yourself, because some of the operation techniques are relatively simple. You only need to do it for 10-15 minutes a day, but you need to persist.

6. Chinese medicine treatment course: The treatment of this disease requires a long-term battle, just like a war of resistance, so you must have confidence. Chinese medicine is generally taken for 2-3 months. When the condition stabilizes, it can be stopped for half a month to one month. After that, it can be continued depending on the situation. Some patients have to take it intermittently for several years.

7. A very important point is self-help and children’s own training. Find a form of exercise that your child likes and can stick to, and that is suitable for his or her condition, such as swimming, jogging, and breathing exercises, but remember not to overexert yourself.

8. In addition, pay attention to your diet and avoid allergens. Some foods are not strongly positive and do not require fasting. They can be eaten in small amounts. Getting enough sleep and going to bed early are things that parents must do first, setting a good example and teaching by words and deeds. When educating children, you need to be reasonable and follow rules. You cannot let your children do whatever they want. You should guide your children not to lose their temper and pay attention to emotion management. Do not be too tired, do not have too heavy academic burden, and communicate with your teachers. Do not overuse air conditioning in summer and winter, otherwise the temperature changes will be too rapid and the child's airway hyperreactivity will appear again.
