How to avoid asthma attacks?
To prevent the occurrence of asthma, we must first remove the predisposing factors. There are many causes of asthma attacks, some of which are obvious, but some of them are often hidden and require the doctor and patient to work together to find out. It is known that bronchial asthma is induced as follows:

(1) Allergic factors: 30% to 40% of people with bronchial asthma can detect allergens. Dust mites, cat and dog skin, mold, pollen, milk, eggs, feathers, fungi, etc. are important allergens;

(2) Infection: Upper respiratory tract infections (such as colds) are the most common cause of asthma, and are more pronounced in winter and spring seasons or when climates are variable. Respiratory infections, especially viral infections, are more likely to cause asthma attacks;

(3) irritating odor: such as inhalation of smoke, dust, gasoline, paint and other odors and cold air, can stimulate the bronchial mucosa, asthma patients suffering from bronchial smooth muscle spasm;

(4) Avoid overwork: strong assault or long-term physical labor, intense competitive sports, can induce asthma;

(5) Climatic factors: If the cold season is prone to cold and cause respiratory infection, or sudden changes in weather, air pollution, smog, can trigger bronchial asthma attacks. When the weather changes or is cold, be sure to add clothing in time to prevent colds;

(6) Occupational factors: workers in the pharmaceutical industry and chemical companies may be allergic to certain drugs or raw materials;

(7) The change of air humidity also has an effect on the onset of asthma. The humidity is too high or too low, which is unfavorable to the patient. The most suitable relative humidity is 60%~70%;

Patients can perform desensitization therapy in advance according to the law of their own onset, under the guidance of a doctor, to achieve early prevention, early treatment, and early relief. Patients should participate in physical exercise during the remission period.
