How To Treat Allergic Asthma
Allergies and Asthma
Allergies can trigger or induce asthma. For people with allergic asthma, breathing in substances such as pollen, mold, dust mites and animal dander triggers the inflammation and swelling of the airways, leading to symptoms of asthma.
Prevent Asthma
Some studies suggest that treatment of allergic rhinitis actually improves asthma. Allergen immunotherapy (desensitization allergy shots) is a type of allergy treatment that can significantly improve asthma.
Remedies to Treat Allergic Asthma
Fruit and Juice
Besides taking Vitamin C tablets, it would be beneficial to your health to add more citrus fruits and juice to your diet.
Vitamin C
Another homemade remedy to treat Asthma is to take Vitamin C on a regular basis. Vitamin C is a mighty antioxidant. That means that it helps rid a person’s body of harmful free radicals.
Antihistamines: If you have allergies, your physician may prescribe an antihistamine for treatment of allergic rhinitis (”hay fever”) and other conditions such as hives.
Decongestants: Decongestants reduce the nasal congestion and other symptoms associated with allergies. They work by constricting blood vessels, thereby decreasing the amount of fluid that leaks out into the lining of the nose which can cause congestion.
Tests
There are more expensive tests that can be performed that look directly at blood vessels, looking specifically for atherosclerosis. Two such tests are a carotid ultrasound test that looks at the thickness of the blood vessel, something we call an IMT … if it’s thick, that suggests that there is atheorscloerosis present.
