How to treat children's cough and asthma How to treat children's cough and asthma

Asthma is not a big or small disease. When there are no symptoms, it is no different from ordinary people. When the symptoms are obvious and the food accumulation is not properly treated, it may be life-threatening. This disease is likely to be congenital. Many children have been troubled by this damn disease since they were very young. So what should children do if they have cough and asthma?

If an acute asthma attack is treated with asthma drugs such as bronchodilators and glucocorticoids, but there is still severe or progressive dyspnea, it is called critical asthma. If bronchial obstruction is not relieved in time, respiratory failure can develop rapidly, directly threatening life. At this time, it is called a life-threatening asthma attack. The treatment of acute attacks is based on the severity of the acute attack and the response to the initial treatment, as well as individualized treatment based on the original treatment.

What to do if your child has cough and asthma

1. Children with critical asthma should be placed in a good medical environment, supplied with oxygen, and their blood oxygen saturation should be maintained above 0.92~0.95. For those who have not yet been intubated and those who use sedatives, cardiopulmonary monitoring, blood gas analysis and ventilation function should be monitored.

2. In addition, it is recommended that the baby drink more water. It is best to use a humidifier in the house, or put a few basins of water in the house to increase the humidity in the house, which can also relieve the symptoms of upper respiratory tract discomfort and avoid frequent coughing due to irritable air. Secondly, no matter what kind of cough, the baby should drink more water, because drinking water can help blood circulation, expel toxins from the body, and reduce irritation to the respiratory tract.

3. Children need to take medicine under the guidance of a doctor, and can also eat some foods that have antitussive effects.

4. For children with asthma, breastfeeding should be insisted. If breastfeeding is not possible, formula milk rich in nucleotides, selenium, zinc, prebiotics and other anti-drug resistance-related ingredients should be selected.

5. It is best to eat a light diet and eat more fresh vegetables. When increasing outdoor activities, get more sun exposure to help absorb calcium and ensure indoor air circulation.
