Causes of Asthma Attack and Symptoms in Baby & Children

Causes of Asthma in Children and Babies

Genetic factors and environmental influences have substantial influence on asthma development. Allergies, you should not take lightly. For example, children are especially vulnerable with hay fever develop asthma. The allergic hypersensitivity can pass from nose to bronchial mucosa. If allergy-releasing substances are then inhaled, also bronchi react. This phenomenon is called as “floor change”.

The following allergens (allergy-causing substances) can cause allergies and thus increase risk for asthma.
- Pollen (birch, grass)
- Animal hair (cat or dog)
- Food (milk, eggs, nuts)
- Dust mites
- Mold Spores
- Food additives (for example, phenyl)
- Furniture chemicals, carpets, etc.

Besides allergies, viral infections are often the triggers for asthma in children. In addition, is passive smoking, for example by smoking parents is considered as risk factor for asthma development. Acute asthma accumulation usually caused by trigger stimuli such as Read more…

Asthma Stages in Children and Baby

Asthma Disease in Baby and Child Description

Asthma is one of the most common chronic disease. About ten percent children (and babies) are affected, among adults the rate is around five percent. Asthma disease is a chronic respiratory disease that causes coughing and wheezing. In addition to the permanent symptoms usually occur sudden deterioration.

During asthma attack the bronchial tubes constrict spasmodically, the bronchial mucosa becomes inflamed, swells and forms more mucus. The thickened mucus clogs the opening bronchi. The most common triggers for asthma attack is a viral respiratory tract invection, such as cold or flu. In addition to allergic reactions to certain substances, for example, produce food, animal hair or pollen asthma attacks.

Asthma Indicators :
- Most asthma develops between the fourth and fifth year.
-Approximately 50 percent of the children’s asthma will disappear when they grow up.
- The easier asthma is, the greater are the chances that it will disappear.
- Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children. Read more…

Asthma Prevention Tips and Prognosis

Asthma Prognosis

The asthma symptoms can be alleviated by therapy and preventive measures to keep under control. In half of all children suffering from asthma sounds with end of puberty again. The probability that the illness “grows”, rises when it is detected and treated early. In adulthood, asthma cures about 20 percentcases, with 40 percent, a marked improvement occurs.

If you are smoker or smoking, and suffer from asthma, you should stop and not smoking from now. Severe asthma attacks can be fatal without proper treatment. In severe untreated pulmonary disease, asthma and heart are damaged permanently and heavy.

Asthma Prevention Tips

Since causes of bronchial asthma are unknown, a safe prevention is not possible. However, there are some factors that may reduce the likelihood of developing asthma. Among other things, you can take following asthma prevention tips to reduce risk from asthma disease :

• Stop smoking or keep your children away from smoke cigarette
• Avoid cold air, dust, and air pollutant (if possible)
• For children : Do not have domestic animals Read more…

Causes of Asthma Attack and Symptoms

The exact causes of asthma are still unknown. Firstly, genetic factors and environmental influences in the development of athma disease play a role. In addition, include allergic respiratory symptoms such as hay fever among the strongest risk factors for asthma development.

The exact interaction between genetic factors and various risk factors in the first years of life, which eventually leads to the development of asthma, but is known only in its infancy.

When asthma attack the bronchial inflammation irritated swells considerably. An increased production of tenacious mucus narrows the airways further. In addition, stretches muscles of the smaller airways (bronchi and bronchioles), together spasmodically. These processes complicate breathing, especially exhaling, and worsen the oxygenation of the body.

Asthma causes because various stimuli can trigger acute asthma attack :

• Non-specific stimuli: All asthmatics are a number of stimuli (triggering stimuli affected). These include physical exertion, cold, cigarette smoke, perfumes and air pollution.
• Specific stimuli are mainly pollen, dust, animal dander, mold and some foods. These attractions are called allergens.
• Other factors include inflammation respiratory tract, caused by viruses or bacteria, or certain pain killers (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid / aspirin).

We must distinguish between bronchial asthma disease and acute asthma attack. The symptoms of asthma depend Read more…

Pneumonia Symptoms, How to Diagnose Pneumonia

Pneumonia in the world can be individually expressed very differently, but pneumonia symptoms can be detected early. It depends on the general health and pathogens. Symptoms of a classical (bacterial) pneumonia are:
- Sudden chills,
- High fever,
- Cough and difficulty in breathing, chest pain with respiration if necessary,
- The cough is initially dry and after a while mucus is coughed up, the green, yellow, brown or rust-colored.

People with severe pneumonia, shortness of breath due to very fast (tachypnea) and strained. Lips and nails may be a sign of lack of oxygen bluish discoloration (cyanosis). Deep breathing or coughing, often prepares pain.

Pneumonia caused by viruses or parasites, most start slowly with mild fever without chills vibration frost. The cough is dry and there is hardly coughed up phlegm. This pneumonia is also known as atypical pneumonia. We can discuss about causes of atypical pneumonia and atypical pneumonia symptoms later. Other pneumonia symptoms, if different lung illnesses already exist such as  asthma or chronic bronchitis worse, they often through Read more…
