Most important in the treatment of children with asthma

A few days ago, President of the Chinese Medical Association, the China asthma Union consultant academician Zhong Nanshan is designed for \"2008 World Asthma Day\" press conference recording a video speech. Where special interpretation of the adolescent with asthma control problems. We capture the essence of the readers--

We know that the diagnosis of asthma is not difficult, it is not a problem for a typical asthma patients. But regardless of the parents, are children of relatives and friends, even on some non-typical of the medical workers are often not a correct diagnosis of asthma, so treatment is difficult.

For example, some young people p, is the main performance when running, run a fast find breathing difficult, it is difficult to catch up with other students. Generally considered physical difference, actually pretty part is a manifestation of asthma, we called it sport-asthma, which is actually needed in the treatment of asthma.

If some children always dry cough in the evening in the morning, throat, parents are suffering from pharyngitis or bronchitis, antibiotics are not good, which a large part is actually asthma, we cough type asthma it is called for.

And if some often sneeze, every morning dozens of a sneeze, flow clear nose, after playing after a little chest tightness, was actually a manifestation of asthma, allergic rhinitis induced by a very close relationship.

These phenomena are not uncommon in the youth. We do not just typical manifestations of bronchial asthma, on some recurrent seizures, movement after breathing difficulties, coughing, or repeated rhinitis happens when the chest is stuffy, should consider whether asthma may exist. After you make the right diagnosis, and treatment is in the right direction.

Now asthma treatment is prevention-treatment of the most important, that is not to wait for it to have treatment, but does not allow it to attack. In this sense, the treatment of asthma is life, the \"lifetime\" is not necessarily the lifetime use of drugs, is to emphasize lifelong tracking. Because asthma is with genetic gene linked to abnormal, it is not changed. But as long as on the clinical treatment of asthma, it can have no symptoms, whether parents or patients themselves pay great attention to clinical symptoms and feel, mainly for preventive treatment.

Is the essence of allergic airway inflammation of asthma, when it develops to a certain extent will be symptoms, symptom-free does not mean that the asthma does not exist. Not necessarily asthma asthma, airway inflammation is still exists, and requires close observation by doctors and patients. Recommendations prepared a simple monitoring in patients with small instrument (wind flow meter), afternoon blow blow every morning, look at the degree of airway patency of their every day, if the result is that there is no problem with the usual. Once the 20% is lower than usual, even if there are no symptoms, you need drug treatment. If quite a long time no symptoms, with only very small amounts of drugs and even without drugs, it can be said to clinical cure.

Asked about asthma can cure, it depends on how to understand this problem, from the nature of asthma stresses it is determined by genetic factors, gene, from this perspective it is impossible to cure. But from the symptoms of asthma, and clinical performance, clinically, it is possible to cure, in other words, after appropriate treatment of a lifetime no asthma symptoms, it is possible.
