Allergic mood of the organism of some children is the reason that bronchospasm can occur on the background of usual SARS. The breath becomes wheezing, and the exhalation lengthens. This phenomenon was called "expiratory dyspnea." Obstruction in children under three years of age is called obstructive bronchitis. After reaching this age, most children have similar episodes. If the dyspnea continues, the diagnosis can be disappointing - bronchial asthma.
Recommendations for the removal of obstruction
Bronchial obstruction in children can not be stopped instantaneously. Parents should understand that dry wheezing and wheezing with proper treatment will stop only after a few days. All manifestations of obstruction of the lungs in children must necessarily be discussed with the doctor.
When an attack occurs for the first time, most parents do not know how to relieve the obstruction of a child and alleviate his condition. It is natural that they turn to the hospital, and the child is immediately hospitalized. However, in cases where the airway obstruction in children is repeated, it is worthwhile to be ready to help yourself. To begin with, it is necessary to calculate the frequency of the child's breathing in one minute. This is necessary in order to learn about its effectiveness after rendering assistance (counting the frequency of breathing again). Homemade medicine chest must be filled nebulizer, bronhorasshiryayuschimi drugs (berodual, ventolin). There are also aerosol forms of these medicines, but a small child to explain the rules of their use will be difficult, so the nebulizer is more effective. After 10-15 minutes of inhalation with these drugs should be inhaled with a glucocorticoid (budesonide, pulmicort). Do not be afraid of the fact that these drugs are hormonal. Negative influence is minimal, and bronchospasm is removed perfectly.
Treatment of obstruction in children should be accompanied by a plentiful drink to improve expectoration. For the same purpose it is worth buying a lazolvan, ambroksol.
Parents to note
Syndrome of bronchial obstruction in children under one year is not recommended to be treated with expectorants. Also it is necessary to be cautious at application of vegetative preparations for treatment of children-allergikov. Bear in mind, bronchodilin, despite the name, does not expand bronchi, but blocks the cough, which is unacceptable in case of obstruction. The same applies to antihistamines (tavegil, dimedrol, claritin, suprastin), which overdry mucous.
