Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, she has been feeling unwell physically for a while, but hasn't gone to see a doctor or paid attention to it. Who knew it would get serious now. Please ask: How to care for patients with bronchial asthmaDoctor's answer:
During acute asthma exacerbation, we first need to provide patients with a balanced diet, including vegetables, fruits, milk, etc., to replenish their internal environment.First, there must be a positive mindset. We need to comfort the patients and prevent them from becoming anxious. We should avoid asking them questions like, "Your asthma is flaring up again. Are you in pain? Is there something wrong with your asthma?" Such questions should never be asked. Instead, we should inject positive energy to help patients maintain a pleasant mood and boost their confidence in fighting the disease.
Second, we can ensure coordination with the doctor. If any urgent situations arise, it is crucial to communicate with the doctor promptly. This is particularly important during acute exacerbation.
In the recovery phase, we must first remind patients to take their medications as prescribed, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. It is essential to use the medications in a standardized, correct, and scientific manner.
