The scary beast in figure is likely to be lurking in your own home, where it feeds on organic
debris, including human skin. What is it? It’s the common dust mite, a close relative of
spiders. The dust mite is so small that it is barely visible with the unaided eye, so it’s obviously
shown greatly enlarged above. If you think you can get rid of dust mites in your home by
frequent and thorough cleaning, think again.
There may be thousands of dust mites in just one gram of dust! Regardless of how clean you
keep your house, you can’t eliminate dust mites entirely. So why even bother trying? The feces
of dust mites contain proteins that are a common trigger of asthma attacks.
answer
An asthma attack occurs when the airways swell and tighten,
causing difficulty breathing, coughing, and chest tightness. To
prevent asthma attacks, avoid triggers such as dust, pet dander,
smoke, and strong odors by maintaining a clean environment,
avoiding smoking, and managing respiratory infections through
early medication and vaccinations. During an attack, stay calm,
sit upright, use a prescribed inhaler, and seek medical help if
symptoms persist. In controlling the attack, a long-term
management includes practicing breathing exercises like
pursed-lip and diaphragmatic breathing to strengthen lung
capacity could be done. Regular medical check-ups are essential
for effective asthma management and adjusting treatment plans
as needed.
What is pneumonia? What is the different between asthma attack and
pneumonia? How can pneumonia be prevented? How is it treated?
answer
Pneumonia is the condition where an infection happened to the
lung that causes the air sacs, or alveoli of the lungs to fill up
with fluid. The different between pneumonia and asthma attack
can be seen from the causes itself where the pneumonia is due to
infection whereby asthma attack are causes from the tighten of
airways that comes from allergies, dusty condition and also it is
can be inherited from the parents. Other comparison that can be
seen is the condition if the airways of these two conditions
where pneumonia the alveoli will be filled up with liquid but
asthma attack, the airways will swelling. Pneumonia can be
prevented through vaccinations for diseases like COVID-19,
Influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), also avoiding
smoking, go for regular medical check-ups, and limiting alcohol
consumption. Treatment involves taking antibiotics for bacterial
infections, antiviral medications for viral causes, and antifungal
treatments if caused by fungi, along with over-the-counter
medicines to alleviate symptoms like fever and muscle pain.
