Treatment of symptoms of bronchitis

I. Daily prevention and maintenance of chronic bronchitis

1, pay attention to your diet

Health is sometimes eaten, so we should pay more attention to the collocation of diet and nutrition, such as beans, egg whites, lean meat and other foods with high protein content, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Step 2 reduce irritation

Poor trachea is related to air pollution, smoking and infection. The common symptoms are cough, excessive phlegm, asthma, and edema in severe cases. For patients with chronic bronchitis, quitting smoking can greatly improve the chances of recovery. 90% ~ 95% of chronic bronchitis comes directly from smoking, so patients with chronic bronchitis should not only quit smoking, but also avoid passive smoking. After quitting smoking, your bronchitis will gradually improve.

Step 3 keep clean

Strive to improve the environmental hygiene of work, avoid environmental pollution, and have good hygiene habits. For operations with more dust, smoke and harmful gases, labor protection should be strictly done. In addition, try to find out and avoid contact with allergic factors, such as pollen, dust and paint. It is necessary to enhance the awareness of environmental hygiene and avoid the impact of smoke, dust, pollen and irritating gases on the respiratory tract.

4. Take an active part in physical exercise.

Choose the exercise that suits you, and try to choose some exercises that are not too intense and can strengthen your body and improve your physical quality, so as to improve your respiratory system function and enhance your resistance to cold and disease. It is best to exercise outdoors with fresh air, so that you can exercise and cultivate your mood. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating. Keep warm after exercise to avoid catching a cold.

5. Make sure the indoor air is fresh.

The bedroom should be ventilated frequently to ensure the indoor air is fresh. Open the window every morning to let fresh air flow into the house.

6. Early treatment of colds

If the pathogenic factors of chronic bronchitis persist, it will not be completely and effectively treated. In addition, repeated respiratory infections can make the disease develop, complicated with emphysema and even pulmonary heart disease, which is life-threatening. Therefore, it should be prevented and treated as soon as possible. Those who are not cured for a long time should go to the hospital for regular examination to prevent obstructive emphysema.

Patients with chronic bronchitis are most afraid of catching a cold, which is an important factor to aggravate their condition. Therefore, we must pay special attention to the hot and cold changes in the weather and be prepared for cold and warmth at any time. In the season of frequent colds, try to avoid going out and going to crowded public places. If you have a cold patient at home, try to avoid isolation. To prevent colds, we usually use diet conditioning, vinegar fumigation, oral medication or cold water bath. Once patients with chronic bronchitis catch a cold, they must be treated in time to control their condition as soon as possible.

7. Timely expectoration

In order to ensure the smooth breathing of patients with chronic bronchitis, especially during the onset, patients should pay attention to the timely elimination of sputum in the throat to prevent suffocation caused by sputum blocking the respiratory tract. For the elderly who are weak for a long time, their families should help them turn over and pat their backs to expel phlegm.

8. Keep a good mood

A good mood is the foundation of health. As the saying goes, "Laugh till you are ten years old". Laughter can make the diaphragm, chest, abdomen, heart, lungs and even liver of the human body temporarily move, increase vital capacity, clean the respiratory tract, relax the whole body and mind, eliminate tension and relieve various mental pressures in life. It can also promote appetite, increase the secretion of digestive juice and enhance the vitality of digestive organs, which is conducive to the rehabilitation of chronic bronchitis.
