Bronchial asthma is a very common disease in clinical practice. There are many and complex factors that trigger bronchial asthma. Therefore, treatments for bronchial asthma in clinical practice can only improve the condition to some extent but cannot completely cure it. Patients with mild bronchial asthma can also undergo acupoint massage, which has a good auxiliary conditioning effect. Commonly chosen acupoints for massage include Dazhui, Dingchuan, and Neiguan, which can appropriately alleviate bronchial asthma. The frequency of each massage is twice a day, with each session involving about 20 to 40 presses, which can achieve a certain degree of relief.

What foods are good to eat for bronchial asthma?

What food bronchial asthma patients eat is a question with much consideration. Foods that bronchial asthma patients should avoid mainly fall into two categories: First is allergens. If a patient has previously had an allergy to certain foods, is suspected to be allergic, or has family members who are allergic to a particular food, then they should avoid eating it. Also, common allergens like small fish, shrimp, and seafood should be avoided, especially during asthma attacks. The second category is spicy and irritating foods, which should also be avoided. Therefore, the primary focus should be on eating light, easily digestible foods, and sticking to foods that are commonly eaten, avoiding those that have not been tried before. Moreover, if a food is known to potentially cause allergies after medication, it should not be consumed. (Please use medication under the guidance of a professional physician, and do not self-medicate.)

Is bronchial asthma contagious?

Is bronchial asthma contagious? Bronchial asthma is not contagious; it is not an infectious disease. The exact causes of bronchial asthma are not very clear, primarily thought to be related to genetic and environmental factors. Bronchial asthma has a close relationship with genetics, meaning that if parents have asthma, their children and grandchildren might also develop bronchial asthma. The closer the familial relationship, the higher the chances of developing bronchial asthma compared to the general population. This genetic pattern can create the illusion to the general public that bronchial asthma is contagious, but it may be more closely related to genetics.

Can people with bronchial asthma eat eggs?

Bronchial asthma is a common clinical disease, and its incidence has been increasing in recent years. Symptoms such as chest tightness, wheezing, and difficulty breathing often occur suddenly after exposure to allergens, exercise, infection, etc. Whether individuals with bronchial asthma can eat eggs depends on the specific circumstances. If allergic to eggs, they definitely should not be consumed as this could trigger or exacerbate asthma symptoms. However, if there is no egg allergy, eggs can be consumed.

Symptoms of bronchial asthma cough

Bronchial asthma, commonly referred to as asthma, often results in symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing in patients. However, these symptoms do not always appear simultaneously in an individual. It's possible for a single symptom to serve as the initial manifestation of bronchial asthma. For example, the condition may present solely as wheezing, chest tightness, or, notably, as coughing, where it is the only symptom. The characteristics of asthma-related coughing primarily include a certain rhythmic pattern, typically worsening during early morning or late night, and it can easily lead to coughing up blood. Additionally, the coughing may begin and end abruptly and can be triggered by exposure to cold air or strange smells, followed by spontaneous improvement after a period. These are distinctive features of bronchial asthma coughing.

What causes bronchial asthma?

Bronchial asthma is very common in clinical settings, mainly characterized by a reversible airflow limitation that can cause recurrent attacks of wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath in patients. These attacks generally occur at night or in the early morning and can gradually ease after treatment. Bronchial asthma is mainly related to several factors, the first being environmental factors. Exposure to pollen and animal dander can trigger asthma attacks. Additionally, infections, diet, and medications are among the various factors that can provoke asthma attacks.
