Asthma

Asthma is a chronic disease affecting the respiratory tract. Your airway is a conduit that pumps air into and out of the lungs. When it suffers from asthma, the inner wall of the respiratory tract swells as it hurts. This makes them very sensitive and they may respond strongly to allergies and irritants. As your respiratory tract reacts, they become narrower and your lungs reduce air

Not all asthma patients have these symptoms. These symptoms do not necessarily mean that you have asthma. Your doctor will diagnose asthma based on pulmonary function test, your medical history and physical examination. There is also an allergy test

If your symptoms of asthma are worse than usual, it is called an asthma attack. Severe asthmatic attacks may require urgent attention, they may be fatal

Asthma is treated with two drugs: rapid reliever to relieve symptoms of asthma and long-term management drug to prevent symptoms

The asthma treatment guidelines are based on asthma based on daytime asthma symptoms, nighttime asthma symptoms, use of emergency medicine, asthma to daily life, oral steroid use, and respiratory examination (spirometry) in the clinic Categorize into various categories. . Asthma classification includes mild intermittent asthma, mild persistent asthma, moderate persistent asthma, and severe persistent asthma. Patients classified as mild intermittent asthma usually require only short-acting emergency medicines. Inhalation of corticosteroids recommended as first-line treatment, leukotriene modulator as an alternative to inhaled corticosteroids, mild persistent asthma with theophylline or cromolyn

Anyone diagnosed with asthma is a candidate for asthma medicine. Patients with mild and rare asthma symptoms need only short-acting emergency medications to be used as needed such as salbutamol (Ventolin HFA, Proventil-HFA, Vospire ER, ProAir HFA, ProAir, RespiClick) maybe. Patients with more frequent and persistent asthma symptoms are candidates for daily medication. The choice of drug depends on the severity of asthma. Control drugs are daily medications used to prevent or ameliorate asthma symptoms in patients who frequently develop symptoms. Whether to use controlled drugs for asthmatic patients depends on the frequency and type of daytime or nighttime symptoms at the clinic, the frequency of asthma treatment required, the frequency of oral steroid use, the effect of asthma symptoms on asthma, daily life and respiration It varies depending on container inspection.
