Asthma is a chronic condition affecting the lungs’ airways, characterised by periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath and coughing. Hence strengthening the immune system is something that should be a priority for all sufferers.
What triggers an asthma attack?
The most common triggers are respiratory infections. Thus, if an asthmatic person gets a cold or flu, there is the risk of pneumonia and even an asthma attack. It also takes longer for asthmatics to recover from cough and colds. That is the reason why, sometimes, coughing can linger for months.
Bacterial and viral infections are linked to childhood asthma
Researchers noted that children with mild to moderate asthma who have an oncoming asthma flare-up, tend to have a higher level of disease-causing bacteria in their lungs.
Also viral respiratory tract infections are the most common triggers of acute asthma in both children and asthmatic adults. As a matter of fact, studies show that viruses can multiply much more in asthmatics than in a non-asthmatic person. Some suggest that asthmatics may have a defect in antiviral immunity.
Allergies are associated with attacks
Besides bacteria and viral pathogens, the other trigger for attacks is allergens. Here, the common allergens include dust mites and mould, also cat and dog dander. Food and food additives are less common causes of asthma attacks.
Asthma is an immune disorder
In asthma, the immune system is overactive and reacts aggressively to anything that is considered harmful such as allergens or pathogens. Accordingly, the immune system releases cells that incite inflammation in the airways. The typical repair of the tissue in airways is disrupted, and chronic inflammation occurs. The lung tissues become hypersensitive to triggers, which makes them more likely to provoke an attack.
People with an asthmatic condition generally have an higher risk of respiratory infections. As the inflammation damages the airways’ lining, this gives viruses and bacteria even more access to the lung’s deeper tissues. As a result, severe illnesses such as pneumonia, can occur. Thus this chain of infection and inflammation feeds a vicious cycle.
