What is allergic asthma? What are the symptoms of allergic asthma in babies?

Pediatric allergic asthma refers to children with allergic constitution who are allergic to certain substances, such as inhaling cold air, pollen, dust mites, etc., eating fish, shrimp, milk, etc., or being exposed to certain drugs (such as penicillin). When these allergens enter a patient's body, they cause basophils or mast cells to release sensitive reactive substances through a series of reactions that act on the bronchi, causing widespread small airway narrowing and asthma symptoms.

Clinical manifestations of allergic asthma in children

1. Allergic asthma in children usually has aura symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, itchy throat and cough.

2. White foamy sputum and irritating cough are also one of the clinical manifestations of allergic asthma in children.

3. Children will also have difficulty breathing repeatedly, accompanied by wheezing, and the symptoms will worsen at night.

4. In children with allergic asthma, widespread wheezing can be heard in both lungs, and some children can hear moist rales and crisp knocking sounds.

5. Symptoms such as pulmonary insufficiency or emphysema may occur in late childhood.

How to correctly treat allergic asthma in children?

1. Hormones. Mothers mostly talk about hormones, but hormones, as necessary drugs to reduce allergic inflammation (allergy), are necessary drugs to treat allergic asthma in babies.

2. Bronchodilators. It is also an essential medication for allergic asthma in children. It is divided into systemic medication and topical medication. Its main function is to dilate and contract the bronchi and relieve breathing difficulties caused by allergic asthma in infants.

3. Inhalation preparations. Emergency medicines in children with allergic asthma are often used during acute attacks of allergic asthma in children. Breathing difficulties in children can be quickly relieved by inhaling the topical drug into the lungs.

4. Anti-allergic preparations. This is also an essential medication for children with allergic asthma. It relieves allergic reactions in babies by being anti-allergic.

5. Desensitization therapy. This is the most complete eradication method. If you know your baby's allergens, you can go to the hospital for desensitization treatment to desensitize them. This method can be more troublesome for babies who don't know their allergens. They can go to the hospital for long-term allergen testing.

What are the factors that trigger asthma attacks?

Asthma is an allergic disease mainly caused by allergens entering the respiratory tract. There are indoor and outdoor allergies. Indoor allergens: dust mites (the main cause of asthma), cockroaches, animal secretions, excrement and dander, mold and yeast. Outdoor allergens: pollen and fungi.

In addition, certain foods, medications, tobacco smoke, and smoke are also allergens for asthma. Respiratory viral, bacterial, and mycoplasmal infections can also cause wheezing. Cold air stimulation, excessive strenuous exercise and excessive emotions can also cause asthma attacks. In addition, some diseases, such as rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps, and gastroesophageal reflux, can also cause asthma attacks.
