People with bronchial asthma can eat oranges, as oranges contain a rich amount of vitamins which can help with some inflammations and have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. This can alleviate some symptoms of bronchial asthma and play a role in adjunctive therapy. However, patients with bronchial asthma need to follow the guidance of a doctor, take the corresponding anti-inflammatory and anti-infection medications, and use medications to stabilize asthma. They should also rest adequately and avoid excessive fatigue. Furthermore, they can engage in moderate, soothing aerobic exercises and avoid excessive physical activity to prevent worsening their condition. It is also recommended to avoid staying up late to ensure sufficient sleep and improve resistance, helping the disease to recover more quickly.

Does bronchial asthma spread?

In some families or among relatives, multiple people may have bronchial asthma. If multiple members suffer from bronchial asthma, is it because they have infected each other? Actually, that's not the case. Bronchial asthma is not contagious. The reason why multiple family members or relatives have bronchial asthma is due to genetics. The closer the familial ties of asthma patients, the higher the incidence of the disease. The more severe the patient's condition, the higher the incidence among their relatives. Therefore, asthma is related to genetics but is not contagious.

Can bronchial asthma be cured?

Bronchial asthma, to this day, cannot be completely cured. Many places claim under the guise of traditional Chinese medicine or ancient secret recipes that bronchial asthma can be fully cured, but these are false advertisements. So far, bronchial asthma is a manageable disease. Being manageable means that it can be treated; standardized treatment can make its recurrence quite rare, but it still cannot be completely cured. This means that once someone has bronchial asthma, they must understand that it is a lifelong disease, potentially recurring throughout life, and they need to manage it long-term.

Can people with bronchial asthma drink honey water?

Bronchial asthma is one of the very common types of asthma clinically, generally caused by multiple triggering factors. Some are due to genetic factors, while others are due to exposure to cold air or physicochemical irritants, which can all lead to an attack of bronchial asthma at any time. Therefore, for patients with bronchial asthma, it is important to promptly relieve bronchial spasms clinically and use appropriate medications such as cough suppressants and asthma relief drugs, which can usually control the symptoms caused by bronchial asthma to a certain extent. Moreover, patients with bronchial asthma can appropriately consume some honey, as honey is highly nutritious. Since bronchial asthma can cause varying degrees of breathlessness and coughing, and honey has a lung-moistening effect, it serves as a good auxiliary treatment for coughs caused by dry heat. Therefore, patients with bronchial asthma can appropriately drink some honey water.
