Features: Patients often ask doctors various questions and hope for detailed answers, but due to time constraints, doctors cannot explain everything one by one. The Family Doctor Series addresses the concerns of patients and their families, helping them understand diseases correctly, cooperate with medical treatment, and recover as soon as possible. Some of the doctor's advice and recommendations are also of practical help for people in preventing diseases and maintaining health in daily life. Bronchial asthma is one of the common respiratory diseases, and its incidence has shown a significant upward trend in recent years, especially in children, where both the incidence and mortality rates have been increasing annually. If bronchial asthma has long-term, repeated attacks, it may lead to complications such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, or even progress to cor pulmonale. Currently, reports worldwide indicate that the incidence of bronchial asthma ranges from 0.11% to 32%, posing a great threat to human society and attracting widespread attention. Although the exact cause of bronchial asthma is not yet fully understood, research suggests that it is associated with chronic non-specific inflammation of the airways, airway hyperresponsiveness, neural mechanisms, genetics, environmental factors, and others. This book introduces the basic knowledge of bronchial asthma in plain language, with vivid illustrations and a combination of text and images, providing a detailed and specific explanation. It focuses on prevention and daily precautions, offering guidance for people to effectively prevent bronchial asthma and respiratory infectious diseases in their lives.
