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.

What foods should not be eaten with bronchial asthma?

Bronchial asthma is a type of chronic, variable inflammation, which is also an allergic inflammation. In clinical cases of bronchial asthma, the majority are allergic asthma. If there is an allergy, allergens exist, therefore, it is crucial for asthma patients to strictly avoid contact with allergens. If it is food allergy, contact with the allergenic food must be strictly prohibited. Additionally, many patients do not know what they are allergic to, so they need to be cautious of common foods that can cause allergies, such as seafood, small fish, and small shrimp. For instance, if people around them or family members experience discomfort or develop a rash after consuming certain medications or foods, or if they experience chest tightness or abdominal pain after eating, such foods should be avoided as much as possible.

Symptoms of bronchial asthma

The most common symptoms of bronchial asthma are episodic difficulty in breathing, which can also manifest as episodic chest tightness and coughing. During an asthma attack, there will be accompanying wheezing sounds. If the patient is more severe, they may be forced to sit up to breathe during episodes of breathing difficulties, exhibiting orthopneic breathing. Some patients may experience a dry cough or cough up a large amount of white foamy sputum. In severe cases, symptoms of hypoxia such as cyanosis of the lips and nail discoloration can occur. Asthma attacks are generally acute, with symptoms appearing within minutes, but they can also begin more slowly, worsening over several hours or days. Asthma generally relieves itself, or even after relieving, it may recur, typically worsening during the night.
