Patient's question:
Test results: BronchitisDoctor's answer:
Hello, Bronchial asthma is a disease characterized by airway allergic inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, primarily involving eosinophil and mast cell reactions. Susceptible individuals exhibit varying degrees of reversible airway obstruction symptoms in response to this type of inflammation. Clinically, it is divided into extrinsic asthma and intrinsic asthma based on the presence or absence of allergens and the age of onset. Extrinsic asthma often occurs during childhood or adolescence, is frequently associated with a family history of allergies, and is primarily Type I hypersensitivity. Intrinsic asthma, on the other hand, usually has no known allergens, occurs in adults, shows no obvious seasonal pattern, and has a minimal history of allergies, possibly triggered by internal infections. Regardless of the type of asthma, mild cases can gradually resolve on their own, with no symptoms or abnormal signs during remission. Treatment should aim to avoid or eliminate allergens and other non-specific irritants that trigger asthma attacks, as well as remove various triggering factors. During asthma attacks, treatment should focus on bronchodilation, anti-inflammation, removing airway mucus plugs, maintaining airway patency, and preventing secondary infections. Remission phase treatment: The goal is to consolidate therapeutic effects, prevent or reduce recurrence, and improve respiratory function. Strengthening physical fitness, participating in necessary physical exercise, enhancing knowledge of preventive hygiene, and maintaining emotional stability all play a role in preventing recurrence.
