treatment for asthma, Should Routine

treatment of asthma...In addition to the prevention of asthma attacks by identifying the trigger factors, treatment needs to be done regularly. Treatment for people with asthma are not enough when asthma medication but need to be done on an ongoing basis due to asthma are periodic or repetitive.

Professor Dr. dr. Ida Bagus Ngurah Rai, Sp. P (K) Tuesday (10/1) yesterday said there had been a mistake to view the patient or the patient's asthma. He said they often think of asthma medication just once at the time of the attack alone. When in fact, the treatment of asthma should be done on an ongoing basis to reduce the potential of an asthma attack is re-emerging.

 remedies for asthma..In principle, he said, the goal of treatment in patients with asthma that is to rid patients of asthma attacks and make the patient to normal activities as usual. Added, the treatment of asthma, there are two treatments that when exposed to attacks or short-term treatment and long-term treatment.

Short-term treatment is treatment given in the event of an asthma attack and was continued until the attack subsided and finally disappeared, and usually put on medication that dilates the airways are narrowed. Aim to overcome airway narrowing, overcome airway swollen mucous membranes, and overcoming excessive phlegm production. In the short-term treatment or medication during the attack there are a variety of drugs that can be given are:

* Drugs to overcome airway narrowing

This type of drug to relax the smooth muscle of the airways and is known as a bronchodilator medication. There are 3 major classes of drugs, namely:

- Group Xantin, such as Ephedrine HCl

- Group simpatomimetika

- Group Anticholinergics

Although it is legal only drug Ephedrine HCl that can be obtained without a prescription patients (dose <25 mg), but not closed the possibility of anti asthma sufferers gain another.

* Drugs to tackle swollen mucous membrane of the airway.

Drugs of this type include the corticosteroids. However, the use of drugs of this type should be considered properly, the dose and must be controlled on a regular basis because it can cause dangerous side effects enough. However, this type of drug is potential to overcome the puffiness in the human body, including the respiratory tract.

* Drugs to tackle excessive phlegm production.

This type does not exist and is not needed. The best thing is an attempt to dilute the thick phlegm and removing it from the airway by coughing reflex.

Therefore, patients with asthma who experience it is recommended to drink a lot. But do not rule out other types of drugs are given, such as Ambroxol or Carbo Cystein to help.



Long-Term Treatment

In addition to short-term treatment, long-term treatment of the continuing need to remain unnoticed. However this is often not done by people with asthma. They often assume, current treatments hit enough. When in fact the long-term treatment is done routinely have a major impact on reducing the potential for re-developing asthma. This type of treatment given after an asthma attack modestly, because the purpose of this treatment for the prevention of asthma attacks.

This treatment is commonly referred to as immunotherapy, is a system of medicine that is applied in patients with asthma / allergic runny nose, injecting people with allergies are allergic to the material that the higher the dose is increased gradually and is expected to eliminate the sensitivity to the material (desentisasi) or reduced susceptibility (hiposentisisasi ).

Prof. Ida Bagus Ngurah Rai adds, asthma treatment given in a long time, could be months to years, and should be given regularly. Long-term treatment, he added, given depends on the degree of asthma patients. In patients who had chronic able to take the drug for 1 year. But keep in mind, these medications should be given the drug with minimal side effects. To stop taking the drugs had to be determined by the treating physician.

According to him, for the treatment of asthma patients who have entered the acute phase, go through hospitalization can be done in all health care units of both health centers and hospitals. "However, patients severe life-threatening asthma should be treated in a hospital that has facilities equipped ICU and ventilator equipment," he said.

In addition to regular treatment, people with asthma also have to look at some of the efforts to prevent that:

- Identifying trigger factors and try to avoid it. For example, keep the environment clean awake, try simple bedroom is not much furniture and not to the dusty room, be careful when exposed to influenza to keep watching the hygiene and the environment and so on.

- Perform regular exercise to strengthen the physique, especially aerobic exercise such as cycling, swimming and others.

- Patients with asthma should not smoke because smoking can ease the patient's asthma attacks as well as many asthma medications can not function optimally are also among adult smokers.

- Try to continue to consult with your doctor and continue to recognize the trigger asthma.

Affirmed, patients with asthma should be treated with care. Patients with asthma also do not be too afraid of the disease along these patients regularly and identify factors originators. "Never did get no stigma in people with asthma,"
