Tonsil

It's been a long time i haven't post anything in my blog. Seems a lot of things to settle down. My elderly son has recovered from athsma. But in this few months, i noticed that his tonsil was so sensitive with ice. so easily to infected. Some people said that, it's better to take that tonsil out but I'm worried when some people said He will easily not well after that tonsil has taken out. I don't know what is the best to do.

Luckily my other son is so well and healthy. So smart eventhough he just 3 years old. Next year he will started his kindergarden school.

Asthma Relief and Treatment

Asthma Relief and Treatment

by: Michal

About Asthma:
Asthma is a condition in which the airways of the lungs become either narrowed or completely blocked, impeding normal breathing. However, in asthma, this obstruction of the lungs is reversible, either spontaneously or with medication.Nearly 5 million children younger than 18 have asthma. Increasing in prevalence, asthma is the most common chronic illness of school-aged children. It is responsible for 10.1 million school absences every year — three times as many as any other cause. Asthma also can limit participation in school athletic programs. However, when properly managed, children with asthma can participate fully in both academic and athletic aspects of student life.Asthma is a chronic lung condition that can develop at any age. Fifteen million people--seven percent of those who live in the United States--have asthma. However, it is most common in childhood and occurs in approximately 7-10% of the pediatric population. It is the number one cause for school absenteeism among all chronic diseases.

Symptoms of Asthma:
The most common symptoms during an asthma attack are as follows: the airways become narrowed and inflamed, making breathing difficult, wheezing and troublesome coughing (particularly at night) results.It is important to check with your doctor if you are having any of these problems:
1.Breathlessness with exercise or activity
2.Breathlessness with wheezing
3.Wheezing
4.Coughing
5.Chest tightness or soreness, especially with coughing or deep breathing
6.Waking up at night with breathlessness or wheezing

Causes of Asthma:
The most common cause of asthma is allergy. Of the children who have asthma, 90 percent are allergic. Of the people over 30, 50 percent have allergies. Asthma may also be a result of infection such as bronchiolitis, which is caused by a viral infection of the airways. More than half the children who get bronchiolitis have asthma until they are at least 7 years old.
Generally, the cause of asthma can be divided into two major factors:Triggers, which result in tightening of the airways. Inducers, which result in inflammation of the airways. Triggers irritate the airways, and do not cause inflammation. Symptoms caused by triggers tend to be immediate, short-lived, and rapidly reversible. Airways will react more quickly to triggers if inflammation is already present in the airways. Common triggers include everyday stimuli such as cold air, a polluted environment, strong fumes, emotional upsets, and smoke. Smoke acts as a very strong trigger. Second-hand smoke has been shown to aggravate asthma symptoms, especially in children.

Tropical Medications of Asthma:
Some tropical medicines for asthma treatment are follows.
Angelica Root Extract

Bronchitis & Asthma Aide
Ginkoba
Kombucha Tea

Home care Suggestion:
Avoid tobacco smoke. Apply an onion poultice to the chest.
Maintain a vegetarian diet as much as possible eat only fresh raw foods.
Also take walks as exercise helps the system to get rid of toxins.

Asthma and Its Symptoms

Rudy Silva

In his book, Essential Allergy, Niels Mygind defines asthma as,

"A lung disease characterised by: 1, variable and reversible airway obstruction; 2, airway inflammation; and 3, bronchial hyper-responsiveness."

Asthma is a disease where bronchial tubes are sensitive to irritants, which cause them to inflame and produce difficult breathing. The inflammation can cause,

* contraction of muscles around the air passages,
* swelling of the airway lining due to airway inflammation, and,
* excessive mucus in the airways.

Asthma occurs in most western countries and is the leading chronic illness of children.

Asthma, in some cases, cannot be cured, but for most patients it can be controlled so that they have only minimal and infrequent symptoms and they can live an active life.

If you have asthma, managing it is an important part of your life. Controlling your asthma means staying away from things that bother your airways and taking medicines or natural remedies as directed by your doctor.

When a person experiences a worsening of their asthma symptoms, it is called an asthma episode or, in severe cases, an asthma attack. During an asthma attack, smooth muscles around the bronchial tubes contract, making the airway openings narrower so less air can flow through. Inflammation increases and the airways become more swollen and narrow. Cells in the airways also make more mucus than usual, which narrows the airways further. The changes to the airways cause the symptoms of asthma.

Asthma attacks are not all the same-some are worse than others. In a severe asthma attack, the airways can close so much that not enough oxygen gets to vital organs. This condition is a medical emergency. People can die from severe asthma attacks. A person suffering from an asthma attack has a sensation similar to drowning.

Learning the warning signs or asthma symptoms can often alert a sufferer in time to take preventive action, such as medication or natural remedies.

Asthma attacks can occur over a long period of time. Although there are times when acute episodes strike asthmatics, most asthma sufferers say that there are long periods during which they suffer few, if any, asthma symptoms.

Here are some asthma symptoms:

* Coughing. Coughing in people with asthma is often worse at night or early in the morning, making it hard for them to sleep. This may be the only symptom a child with asthma has.
* Wheezing. Wheezing is a whistling or squeaky sound when you breathe.
* A tight feeling in the chest. This can feel like someone is squeezing or sitting on your chest.
* Shortness of breath. Asthma sufferers often say they can't catch their breath, or they feel breathless or out of breath.
* Narrowing of the air passages in the lungs and hence increased resistance to airflow.
* Significant reversibility with steroid drugs
* Symptom-free periods
* Frequent occurrence of allergy
* Inflammation of the air passages
* Bronchial hyper-responsiveness to non-specific stimuli such as cold air, air pollution, pollen, dust, or other irritants
* Asthma symptoms brought on by exercises
* Coughing or wheezing brought on by prolonged crying or laughing

Not all people have these symptoms, and symptoms may vary from one asthma attack to another. Some symptoms are mild and some are life threatening.

Symptoms also differ in how often they occur. Some people with asthma only have symptoms once every few months, others have symptoms every week, and still other people have symptoms every day.

Is Natural Vitamin E better than Synthetic?

Whether a vitamin is natural or not usually makes no difference, but vitamin E is an exception. Studies show that the natural variety (d-alpha-tocopherol) si more easily absorbed and retained by the body. That's because on just one of several components in the natural form. Natural E is , however more expensive and makers of synthetic E usually add extra E to offset the difference.

God Bless the Sneeze

A sneeze, the reflexes bareley register on your consciousness or, it's as an annoyance. In reality, however, it is an unconscious action that on it's on way, provides essential protection againts disease-causing.

One tip..when you feel a sneeze coming on, try not to supress it: preventing that 160 kph blast of air from escaping may cause a nasty infection by forcing germs and viral particles back up into the Eustachian tubes that lead to the middle ear.

Asthma

Satu penyakit yang saya nak kongsi bersama ialah penyakit asma. Saya merupakan salah seorang pengidapnya dan sekarang anak saya pula mengidapnya. My elder son kena asma ni since dia 5 months old. Since that every month he admitted in the hospital. Saya dan suami mencuba berbagai cara untuk jauhkan dia dari terkena semula penyakit ni. Tapi seperti kata pakar penyakit ni adalah keturunan. Tak dapat nak dinafikan.

Sekarang ni dia dah berusia 4 tahun dan penyakit tu telah beransur hilang. Cum kami pastikan dia tidak minum ais.
