Patient's question:
I have a sensitive constitution. Whenever the flowers bloom, my asthma gets severe. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as allergic asthma. I'm even afraid to go near places where pets are, as I'm allergic to flowers, grasses, and the fur of animals. I want to ask: Is allergic asthma treatable?Doctor's answer:
Allergic asthma cannot be cured because this disease is an autoimmune inflammatory disease. Due to the extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells and mediators in the airways, chronic inflammation is formed, and there is a condition of high sensitivity. When exposed to allergens, it can lead to recurrent airway constriction, resulting in allergic asthma again. It is necessary to first identify the allergen and then avoid and prevent exposure to it. Antiallergic medications and asthma medications should be used for treatment.
