Chronic Bronchitis Xray: Interesting Aspects of Acute
#1
Smile 
[size=4][b]Chronic Bronchitis Xray - Interesting Aspects of Acute Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Acute bronchitis is very common among people with respiratory conditions. This type of bronchitis can occur in anyone, at any age. Acute bronchitis usually accompanies flu or cold and in most cases it doesn't need medical treatment. When acute bronchitis is caused by viruses, the illness can clear on itself within a few days. However, more serious forms of acute bronchitis may require specific medical treatment. If acute bronchitis is caused by infection with bacteria, an appropriate treatment with antibiotics is required for overcoming the illness.

Acute bronchitis is caused by viruses, it doesn't require medical treatment and usually ameliorates within a few days. Acute bronchitis generates symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest soreness when breathing. When patients with acute bronchitis also have moderate or high fever, it is a sign of bacterial infection and therefore medical treatment with antibiotics is required. The presence of yellowish mucus in cough or spit can also point to infection with bacteria. If patients are coughing blood, it is a sign of complication (pneumonia) and immediate medical treatment is required.

[size=large][b]Acute Bronchitis can be Very Difficult to Diagnose[/b][/size][hr]The symptoms it generates are also characteristic to many other respiratory conditions (asthma, allergies, sinusitis). Acute bronchitis can be effectively diagnosed only through the means of elaborate physical examinations and laboratory analyses. Did you ever believe that there was so much to learn about Chronic Bronchitis? Neither did we! Once we got to write this article, it seemed to be endless.

You suffer from acute bronchitis, it is advised to keep away from external irritants (dust, smoke, pollutants, chemicals), as they can aggravate the illness. If you have difficulty breathing, drink plenty of fluids (still mineral water, warm tea) and avoid taking left-over medicines! Self-medication can cause a lot of harm. Antibiotics shouldn't be administered without the doctor's permission and children shouldn't take aspirin or anti-inflammatory medicines when suffering from acute bronchitis. Use air humidifiers and maintain a warm temperature in your bedroom. If you are a smoker, stop! Smoking can cause serious damage to the respiratory system and smokers who suffer from acute bronchitis are also susceptible to developing chronic bronchitis.

Bronchitis causes inflammation, irritation and obstruction with mucus of the respiratory tract. The majority of patients who suffer from respiratory conditions are diagnosed with bronchitis. Bronchitis can be either acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis generates intense symptoms and evolves rapidly (has a short period of incubation), while chronic bronchitis generates moderate, time recidivating symptoms. Every cloud has a silver lining; so consider that this article on Bronchitis Causes to be the silver lining to the clouds of articles on Bronchitis Causes. It is this article that will add more spice to the meaning of Bronchitis Causes.

[size=large][b]Acute Bronchitis Doesn't Last More Than a Few Weeks[/b][/size][hr]However, patients with acute bronchitis can sometimes experience an aggravation of their symptoms in time or they can develop chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is a form of bronchitis that generates less intense symptoms, but the illness can lead to serious complications in time. Unlike acute bronchitis, which can clear on itself in a short period of time, chronic bronchitis persists in time and needs ongoing medical treatment. :o.

[list][*]Bronchitis is a respiratory problem which can be found in the lower tract.[*]It occurs when there is an inflammation of the airway tubes that include the trachea and larger air tubes that carry oxygen to the lungs.[/list]

The main culprit for kids is the constant, long-term exposure of smoking. Sometimes allergies and environmental irritants can be troublesome for them too. We cannot be blamed if you find any other article resembling the matter we have written here about Bronchitis Treatment. What we have done here is our copyright material!

Rales (these are abnormal sounds that are found in the lungs by the doctor.) There are several tests that can be used to diagnose children's respiratory problems. They include: x-rays, pulse oxymetry, pulmonary lung functions, arterial blood gas and sputum. It was our decision to write so much on Chronic Bronchitis after finding out that there is still so much to learn on Chronic Bronchitis.

When it seems there is no infections, doctors will treat the child for a common cold. This means staying in bed, drink lots of fluid. Using a humidifier can help the child get over the cold much quicker. If the child experiences dry cough, it would be necessary to use a cough suppressant for their own comfort. Aspirin is a no-no for children because of the danger of Reye's syndrome. Tylenol or Motrin should be the only two medicines parents should use. Wink

It's left untreated, the infection can develop into more serious respiratory infections that include pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure on the right side as well as emphysema. It may take some time to comprehend the matter on Bronchitis Infections that we have listed here. However, it is only through it's complete comprehension would you get the right picture of Bronchitis Infections.

As for chronic problems, treatment depends on how far into the disease you are. Children need a healthy environment and supervised exercise. Some medications can be used to relieve the stress on the bronchial tubes thus allowing air to flow through. We have included some fresh and interesting information on Bronchitis Infections. In this way, you are updated on the developments of Bronchitis Infections. Smile

[list][*]Sometimes to get the mucus moving, doctors may suggest using expectorants.[*]These types of medicine will thin the mucus out, which makes it easier to get rid of quicker.[*]Before doing this, consult the pediatrician.[/list]

[size=large][b]Both Types of Infections Have Similar Symptoms:[/b][/size][hr]* Tires easily * Wheezing * Difficulty breathing worsened by physical exertion * Mucus filled cough (if there is any blood in the mucus, then consult in the child's physician. We are proud to say we have dominance in the say of Types Bronchitis. This is because we have read vastly and extensively on Types Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]What are the Symptoms?[/b][/size][hr]For children, preventive measures need to be taught earlier. Kids need to know to cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough. They also need to continuously wash their hands. Kids also need a flu vaccine to help them fight any type of breathing problems. If the parents or grandparents can stop smoking, this would be beneficial for the children too.

[list][*]Preventive measures are always better than a cure.[*]Parents who smoke need to remember that when they smoke so do their children who in turn also face health problems. Wink[/list]

COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a respiratory problem that can cause long time issues for the patient in doing physical activity and normal breathing. The development of Bronchitis Infections has been explained in detail in this article on Bronchitis Infections. Read it to find something interesting and surprising!

[list][*]When parents smoke around their children, the kids are likely to get sick with bronchitis much easier than those not around smoke.[*]Children who have a pre-existing condition or heart disease are also at risk.[*]Producing such an interesting anecdote on Bronchitis Infections took a lot of time and hard work.[*]So it would be enhancing to us to learn that you have made good use of this hard work! [/list]

[size=large][b]There are Two Types of Bronchitis Infections: Acute and Chronic[/b][/size][hr]Followed by viruses, acute infections usually bother the nasal passages, sinuses, and throat and then going to the larger tubes. Sometimes bacteria cause the infection. We can proudly say that there is no competition to the meaning of Bronchitis Infections, when comparing this article with other articles on Bronchitis Infections found on the net.

Chemical bronchitis is produced by an overabundance of mucus that causes a productive cough. Until the infection is cleared, it progresses into a constant inflammation that can hinder the stream of air. It can also cause serious damage of the tract. We have avoided adding flimsy points on Chronic Bronchitis, as we find that the addition of such points have no effect on Chronic Bronchitis.

Antibiotic overuse (especially for the common cold) has led to antibiotic resistance. Natural antibiotics and anti viral herbs that may boost immune system are discussed, plus the types of cold and flu, and cough and cold in a weak immune system. Big Grin.

Chinese herbs have successfully treated and caused remission of viral hepatitis and AIDS. In clinical research studies on human beings, at least 15 herbs have been shown to stimulate the immune system and destroy viruses and bacteria (see next table). Chinese herbs appear to have an effect against bacteria and viruses directly, and they stimulate and strengthen the immune system (wei qi) in doing its job of ridding the body of pathogens. We have written a humorous anecdote on Bronchitis to make it's reading more enjoyable and interesting to you. This way you learn there is a funny side to Bronchitis too!

[list][*]Fever is thought to be the 'heat of battle' between pathogenic and righteous qi.[*]In OM, you have a fever if you feel hot, even if your thermometer shows a normal body temperature.[*]Chills are a sign that the pathogen is winning, while fever is a sign that your body is winning. :o[/list]

Most people don't realize that western biomedical understanding didn't include the immune system until very recently. The first vaccine was developed in the late 1800's, and most of the immune system was not understood until the 1960's. Oriental Medicine has been diagnosing and treating immune system diseases with herbs since as early as 150 A.D. when the first systematic book on externally contracted illnesses, the "Cold Damage Classic" was written.

[size=large][b]Entrance of the Pathogen[/b][/size][hr]The Lung (a system of correspondences including the lung, throat, nose, and skin) is the most exterior and most vulnerable organ. Sweating opens the pores, and 'wind' enters through pores. Wind can be thought of as the pathogen itself, since another quality (cold, damp, or heat, for example) is usually attached to describe the pathogen. Wind-heat, then, is the invasion of the body by a heat pathogen. We were furnished with so many points to include while writing about Bronchitis that we were actually lost as to which to use and which to discard! Smile

[size=large][b]Oriental Medicine Concepts of Immunity[/b][/size][hr]Wei (pronounced 'way') qi ('chee') is the protective qi. This qi is thought to circulate in the more superficial levels (skin and muscles). In biomedical terms, it is probably not the entire immune system, but the part of it that deals with external invasions. Protective qi is controlled by Lung organ-system, and can be compromised by overwork, grief, smoking, not eating, and talking too much. It was at the spur of the moment that we ventured to write something about Bronchitis. Such is the amount of matter that is available on Bronchitis.

Wind-Heat * Symptoms: Feeling of heat, fever more than chills, sore throat or cough, body aches, red eyes, irritability * Herb Formulas: More sore throat - Honeysuckle & Forsythia Formula; More cough - Mulberry & Chrysanthemum Formula * Kitchen Medicine: Mint or chysanthemum tea (cooling) The results of one reading this composition is a good understanding on the topic of Bronchitis. So do go ahead and read this to learn more about Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]15 Anti-Viral Chinese Herbs Proven Effective in Human Studies[/b][/size][hr]Andrographis (Chuan xin lian): Viral hepatitis, encephalitis B, herpes zoster, viral influenza Astragalus (Huang qi): Restores immune function in immune suppression from chemotherapy, increases IgA, IgG, and interferon production Deer antler (Lu rong): Promotes lymphocyte transformation and treats leukopenia due to chronic benzene poisoning, promotes bone marrow function Ganoderma (Ling zhi): Treats hepatitis, chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular disease, altitude sickness, cancer (especially leukemia) Ginseng Ren shen: Increases resistance by stimulating adrenal gland via pituitary Isatis (Da qing ye, Ban lan gen): Encephalitis B, measles, mumps, infectious hepatitis, URTI Licorice (Gan cao): In pulmonary TB, it increased ESR - arthritis and hepatomegaly from hepatitis - acute and chronic hepatitis Lonicera (Jin yin hua): Severe acute pneumonia, bacillary dysntery Oldenlandia (Bai hua she she cao): Peritonitis, UTI, hepatitis, chronic bronchitis Phellodendron (Huang bai): Meningitis, dysentery, GI infection, conjunctivitis, UTI, candidal/trichomonal vaginitis Polygonum (He shou wu): Malaria Polygonum cuspidatum (Hu zhang): Lung infections, tonsillitis, hepatitis, RA, osteoarthritis Salvia (Dan shen): Hepatitis, SLE Siberian ginseng (Wu jia pi): Xue and qi xu - improves leukocyte count in 70% of leukopenic patients - caution when there is heat Sophora (Shan dou gen): Alkaloids effective in countering leukopenia due to radiation Viola (Zi hua di ding): TB Writing an article on Bronchitis was our foremost priority while thinking of a topic to write on. This is because Bronchitis are interesting parts of our lives, and are needed by us.

Superbacteria Medical professionals are now concerned about antibiotic-resistant 'superbacteria.' These superbacteria have evolved because of inappropriate medical prescriptions. Antibiotics are effective only against bacteria, not against viruses. MD's and DO's often prescribed antibiotics to pacify patients who refused to leave the doctor's office without them - even when the doctor knew the antibiotic would not help. The problem is that we are running out of antibiotic drugs; there is a finite number of them. It is thought that, in the future, the more complex treatment agents such as natural herbs may be our only defense. Big Grin.

[i]Vulnerability occurs particularly when you are tired, or from excessive environmental influences like cold, heat, dryness, and dampness- each of these is associated with a season when that pathogen is more prevalent[/i]

[list][*]Tiredness, Qi deficiency, & Weakness The fight may take so much of your energy that you can do nothing but lay in bed.[*]You may also lose your appetite, which is a sign of qi deficiency in OM.[*]Some people are more constitutionally weaker from birth, especially those with childhood asthma and allergies.[*]These are often metal or water type people.[*]They need to be especially vigilant in prevention.[/list]
