Caution is necessary for asthma patients in this season.
Jagran correspondent, Patna. Health News: Asthma is a common respiratory disease, it affects about 8 to 10 percent of people. Its cases increase during winter.
In many cases the disease is genetic and can be passed from parents to children. Apart from this, dust, cold air, change in weather and daily environmental changes are also the main reasons for increasing asthma.
Symptoms of asthma include a persistent cough, light secretions, chest tightness and whistling, flute or flute-like sounds while breathing.
This sound is heard more clearly especially at night or in a quiet environment. Once asthma is confirmed, appropriate medication is started.
Inhalers are the most effective and safe option in treating asthma. Many times patients demand to take tablets, but the amount of medicine in the inhaler reaches the lungs directly and its dose is very less.
While tablets require about 20 times more drug to get the same effect, this may increase the risk of side effects.
Dr. Pawan Kumar Aggarwal, Head of the TB and Chest Department of Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), said these things in Dainik Jagran's popular program Hello Jagran on Sunday.
