Introduction
In general, allergic asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Allergic asthma may be associated with factors such as excessive psychological stress, low immune function, environmental factors, genetic predisposition, and viral infections. Patients are advised to follow medical instructions for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, it may also be related to endocrine disorders.
Generally, allergic asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Allergic asthma may be associated with factors such as excessive mental stress, low immunity, environmental factors, genetic factors, and viral infections. Patients are advised to follow medical instructions for symptomatic treatment. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Excessive Mental Stress
Excessive mental stress may stimulate the cerebral cortex, and through a series of processes, could lead to over-ventilation of the bronchi, often triggering asthma attacks. It is recommended that patients try to maintain a cheerful mood.
2. Low Immunity
Patients with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to external influences, such as polluted air or allergens in food, which may trigger allergic asthma. It is recommended that patients persist in regular physical exercise and consume more protein-rich foods in daily life, such as eggs and milk, to enhance their body's immunity.
3. Environmental Factors
Frequent exposure to allergens such as pollen or house dust mites may trigger allergic asthma, leading to discomforts such as coughing, sneezing, and rapid breathing. Patients should immediately avoid contact with allergens and, as directed by a physician, use medications such as loratadine capsules or cetirizine hydrochloride capsules for treatment.
4. Genetic Factors
If both parents suffer from allergic asthma, the likelihood of their children developing the condition may increase, resulting in symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Patients can use medications such as salbutamol aerosol or budesonide inhalation aerosol under medical guidance.
5. Viral Infections
Viral infections in patients may also lead to allergic asthma. Patients can follow medical advice to take antiviral medications, such as acyclovir tablets or famciclovir tablets.
In addition, allergic asthma may also be related to endocrine disorders. If patients experience any discomfort, it is recommended they seek timely medical attention at a hospital to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
