Childhood Asthma - 5 ways to prevent asthma attacks

Childhood asthma is an ongoing inflammation of airways in a child’s lungs. This inflammation makes the airways vulnerable to episodes of difficult breathing i.e., asthma attacks. The common triggers for childhood asthma include allergies, colds and exercise. Diagnosing and managing childhood asthma can be difficult. In infants and young children, the primary asthma symptoms such as wheezing and coughing might perhaps be caused by other conditions. Similarly, standard diagnostic tests used to measure how well someone is breathing cannot be used easily or accurately with children.

For these reasons, the management of childhood asthma requires careful and relatively frequent monitoring. You can help to minimize asthma symptoms by following an action plan you develop with your child's homeopath to monitor symptoms. Read on to know the asthma symptoms to watch out for

Asthma symptoms

The most common childhood asthma symptoms are listed below.

• Cough
• Wheezing, a high-pitched, whistle-like sound when exhaling

The severity and patterns of symptoms may vary.

Five ways to prevent asthma attacks

Listed below are the five ways to prevent asthma attacks.

• Identify asthma triggers

Definite asthma triggers can set off a torrent of asthma symptoms. These include air pollution, allergies, cold air, a cold or flu virus, sinusitis, smoke, and fragrances. It is very much important to learn to identify your asthma triggers and take steps to avoid them. You can keep track of your asthma symptoms in a diary for several weeks. You should detail all the environmental and emotional things that affect your asthma. Whenever you have an asthma attack, check the diary to see which thing or combination of things might have led to it.

• Stay away from allergens

If you have allergies and asthma, it is important to keep your distance from allergens i.e., things you are allergic to. Allergen acquaintance can increase the inflammation in your airways for a while, making an asthma attack more probable.

• Avoid smoke of any type

Smoke and asthma are a bad mix. You should limit exposure to all sources of smoke, including tobacco, incense, candles, fires, and fireworks. Never allow smoking in your home or car, and avoid public places that permit it. If you smoke cigarettes, get help to quit. Smoking always makes asthma worse.

• Prevent colds

Do what you can to stay well. Avoid close contact with people who have a cold or the flu as catching it will make your asthma symptoms worse. Wash your hands well if you handle items that someone with a respiratory infection may have touched.

• Allergy-proof your home

Whether you are at home, work, or traveling, there are things you can do to allergy-proof your environment and lower your chances of an asthma attack. Donot eat in restaurants that are smoky or allow cigarette smoking. Reserve a smoke-free hotel room. If you can, bring your own bedding and pillows in case the hotel only supplies feather pillows and down comforters. They can stock dust mites and cause asthma symptoms.

Asthma treatment

It is strongly recommended to seek asthma treatment for the best results. It is imperative to seek the advice of a professional homeopath, because asthma is a complex disorder. This will also help to create a contingency plan in the event of a sudden asthmatic attack.
