Bronchial asthma, alas, ah, is verya widespread allergic disease. And very often people ignore the need to go to the doctor, preferring treatment with folk remedies. And this should not be done in any case, since there is a serious threat not only to health, but sometimes to a person's life. It is explained simply - almost all recipes of treatment by folk remedies basically contain herbs. And almost all herbs can provoke the development of allergies - in other words, it turns out a kind of vicious circle. And to predict what kind of grass will react to your body, it is impossible. As you understand, such treatment is no good. Therefore, we will not talk about traditional medicine - it is best to consult an allergist. Close interaction with a doctor is one of the most important conditions for the successful treatment of asthma. An experienced specialist will select a treatment that will help to achieve maximum results with minimal risk. 
Medication
In the treatment of asthma, topical(locally acting) inhalation preparations, since the concentration of the drug in the blood will be minimal, and the local effect for the treatment of bronchi is maximal. The best solution is to use inhalers that do not contain freon. To reduce the risk of side effects, you should use aerosol inhalers with a spacer. Such a decrease in immunity has a negative effect on the course of the disease. The constant presence of the inflammatory process in the bronchi causes the arising symptoms. It is necessary to treat not only the symptoms of the disease (eliminate bronchial spasms), but also asthma itself, whose treatment is based on basic therapy (drugs for disease control). Treatment should be aimed at controlling inflammation, as well as selecting the necessary medications to alleviate the symptoms and eliminate exacerbations. Depending on the severity of asthma, the doctor determines the amount of basic therapy the doctor. Rational basal therapy will help reduce the risk of exacerbations and reduce the use of drugs to relieve symptoms.
Types of bronchial asthma
In some cases, asthma can haveNon-allergic origin - due to endocrine changes or severe head injuries. However, in most cases, the disease is allergic, when the effect of an allergen accompanies a spasm of the bronchi, which is manifested by asphyxiation. There are two main forms of bronchial asthma:
- Infectious-allergic
Disease develops against such infectiousdiseases of the respiratory system like pneumonia, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and bronchitis. In this case, allergens are microorganisms. This form of the disease is the most common.
- Non-infectious-allergic
An allergen can be a series of substancesorganic and inorganic origin: dust, plant pollen, feathers, human dander, animal hair, food allergens (strawberries, citrus fruits, strawberries), medicinal substances and industrial chemicals. The emergence of a similar form of bronchial asthma is interrelated with a hereditary predisposition.
