Asthma care cure treatment exercises and Primary Prevention

1. Lie back on a firm bed with knees drawn up, arms limp at the sides. Exhale as you rise and bend forward to place the head between the knees. Inhale as you slowly sink back to the starting position. Rest for a moment and breathe out quickly, using abdominal muscles. Inhale before resuming the exercise.

Rest, breathing normally and allowing only the upper part of the abdomen and lower portion of the rib cage to move

2. Stand with feet apart and arms elevated almost to top-of-head level, with fists clenched, and elbows well back. Bend shoulders and neck to one side, with the corresponding arm going to side of body in direction of bend. Use fist of opposite arm to help push head down. Repeat in opposite direction. Do three times in each direction.

3. Sit with feet well apart. With right hand over ribs on right side, bend to right, breathing out and pushing hand into ribs. Inhale while resuming original position. Do the same in the opposite direction.    notify his doctor. 

The change may signal status asthmaticus. An asthmatic who becomes depressed by his illness-and people vary greatly in their reaction to labored breathing-should receive psychotherapy if he wishes it. With such therapy, some asthmatics are aided in adopting a more cheerful attitude, and some find that psychotherapy helps reduce severity and frequency of attacks.

 PRIMARY PREVENTION


 Effective desensitizationto pollens that cause hay fever helps to reduce the risk of developing asthmatic reactions to these substances. So, too, avoidance of food allergens that may produce allergic upsets for a given individual. Some allergists suggest that, as a precaution, children of allergic parents should not be given eggs and other commonly allergenic foods during the first year of life and should not be exposed to wool. 

Also, each new food should be introduced in small quantity and in- creased slowly in amount. It is believed that a child can build up tolerance for small amounts of new foods but might be made allergic by sudden introduction of large amounts.
