How can bronchial asthma be cured?

First, we need to recognize that once bronchial asthma is diagnosed, it is a lifelong disease and is recurrent throughout one's life. So far, it cannot be cured. Many people on television or in magazines claim that traditional Chinese medicine, ancient secret recipes, or other means can cure bronchial asthma, suggesting various treatments. However, these are false advertisements and should not be trusted.

Bronchial asthma can be controlled, meaning that it is currently incurable and can only be managed with medication. There are now many treatment options for bronchial asthma. As long as patients seek standardized treatment at legitimate hospitals, the majority of those with bronchial asthma can receive proper treatment and management.

Is it okay to take Chinese medicine for bronchial asthma?

Bronchial asthma can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, but it is definitely not feasible to treat bronchial asthma only with Chinese medicine without Western medicine. Modern medicine still primarily uses Western medicine, which is the mainstream. Traditional Chinese medicine serves as an auxiliary treatment. Bronchial asthma is a recurrent disease that needs standardized treatment to be controlled. Currently, many unscrupulous businesses are exploiting the banner of traditional Chinese medicine or some ancestral secret formulas to provide non-standard treatments to patients with bronchial asthma, which may contain corticosteroids. Long-term oral intake of their herbal medicines might control bronchial asthma in the short term, but such long-term treatments are definitely non-standard and will lead to future difficulties in controlling the asthma. Therefore, patients with bronchial asthma must receive standardized Western medical treatment and can use traditional Chinese medicine as an auxiliary treatment, but it must be provided by a formal hospital.

Does a nebulizer work for bronchial asthma?

For patients with bronchial asthma, nebulization treatment is useful during an asthma attack. During an attack, symptoms such as wheezing and difficulty breathing tend to occur. Typically, nebulizing corticosteroids or bronchodilators can have anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and asthma-relieving effects, thus improving symptoms like breathing difficulties in asthma patients. Moreover, the method of nebulized inhalation can take effect quickly, swiftly alleviating the patient's symptoms.

Treatment for mild bronchial asthma

For the treatment of mild bronchial asthma, the purpose of treatment is to prevent the repeated exacerbation of the condition and to prevent deterioration, as well as to control current symptoms. Regardless of whether the symptoms are present or absent, mild or severe, standardized treatment is needed for these asthma patients. The main treatments are inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators to control the progression of the disease and prevent acute asthma attacks. Of course, we will have an assessment of the condition, whether controlled or not, and based on the grading of the condition, different levels will require different medications for treatment.

Consequences of worsening bronchial asthma

The consequences of exacerbated bronchial asthma can cause the patient to feel short of breath even at rest, exhibit orthopnea, and be able to speak only in single words or syllables. The patient may experience anxiety or irritability, sometimes accompanied by profuse sweating, and an increased respiratory rate which, if severe, can exceed 30 breaths per minute. There may also be activity of the respiratory muscles and signs of tracheal tugging, an increased heart rate exceeding 100 beats per minute, which in severe cases can surpass 120 beats. Additionally, there is a decrease in blood oxygen saturation, which can drop below 60%.
