[size=4][b]Emedicine Bronchitis Pediatrics - Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis - a Deadly Attack[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Sometimes, for a person with chronic bronchitis, the symptoms will quickly get worse all of a sudden. This is known as an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, or AECB. Many people that die from chronic bronchitis does so during an episode of acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, so a person having an attack of AECB must get medical attention right away to maximize his/her chances of survival.

You are experiencing AECB, you should seek medical treatment immediately. AECB has been known to cause other problems, and many are admitted to the hospital every year for complications from AECB. If you are experiencing this, remember not to panic. Keep your breathing as steady as possible, and calmly call a doctor of physician for advice. Because AECB can come suddenly without warning, it is always best to keep any doctor prescribed inhalants on you just in case. Make sure to check with your doctor, and make sure that these inhalers are fine to take when you are experiencing AECB, to avoid any further complications. Try lying down with a humidifier running, or hopping in a warm shower to help you breath and reduce the symptoms of AECB.

[size=large][b]What Triggers AECB?[/b][/size][hr]Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis are commonly triggered by one or more of the following: -Bacterial or viral infections (e.g. cold, flu) Using great confidence in ourselves, we endeavored to write such a long article on Chronic Bronchitis Symptoms. Such is the amount of matter found on Chronic Bronchitis Symptoms. Wink

[size=large][b]What Happens During AECB?[/b][/size][hr]During an AECB, the already narrower-than-normal air passageways in the lungs become even narrower, and even more and thicker mucous is secreted. This will cause breathing to become even more difficult. This may be accompanied by a fever, chills, and feeling weak in the knees. If the sudden acute exacerbation is due to bacterial infection, the mucus coughed up during expectoration may be speckled with blood, or colored a brighter than normal yellow or green. If the individual is suffering from fever, and has discovered blood in their mucus, there is a good chance the doctor will take a chest x-ray to make sure that pneumonia is not the underlying cause of the symptoms. The sources used for the information for this article on Bronchitis Symptoms are all dependable ones. This is so that there be no confusion in the authenticity of the article.

[size=large][b]Air Pollutants that Irritate the Lungs (E.G[/b][/size][hr]Smoke, fumes, dust) -Weather changes To avoid AECB, a chronic bronchitic is advised to stay away from places with heavy air pollution, to get flu and pneumonia shots, and to maintain a healthy diet to strengthen the immune system against infections.

With snoring becoming more prevalent year after year, there are now many on going studies for finding out all that can be on the repercussions of long-term steady snoring in both men and women of all age groups. Doctors and researchers have only really officially studied snoring as a worrisome on going problem since the 1960's, but a wide array of serious health issues have been connected to habitual snoring, and the health risks are still being discovered.

For the more serious snorers, a continuous positive airway pressure mask or also known as a CPAP mask that holds the throat open throughout the night and increases the nightly oxygen flow might be another option. But it is best to start exploring less invasive anti-snoring remedies such as Asonor nasal drops that can be purchased over the counter, because with so many to choose from, there is a good chance to find just the right one for you. Slang is one thing that has not been included in a complete guide to symptoms, treatment, and cure of bronchitis Often. It is because slang only induces bad English, and loses the value of English.

Many cases of snoring, breathing periodically stops and starts which may last up to a few seconds throughout the night. But it is the constant nightly breathing interruptions over the years that so many more life serious health risks will start to arise. With almost 50% of men being snorers, and a good one third of women now regularly snoring, the evidence of the serious health risks has only become even more evident. We needed lots of concentration while writing on Bronchitis Often as the matter we had collected was very specific and important.

One of the most recent health risk findings is the association of snoring all the time and chronic bronchitis. As of January 2008, those patients that suffered from chronic bronchitis had been found to more often be regular nightly snorers than those without chronic bronchitis. These specific linking studies between chronic bronchitis and habitual snoring have been under the research microscope with doctors around the globe since the earliest part of the 2000-decade and the studies have been continuous ever since. Even with all of the studies linking the chronic bronchitis and habitual snoring, the exact causes and specific reasons of connections are still being researched due to some unsure answers still not being known.

The lists of health risks range from kidney failure, heart attacks, and heightened blood pressure and strokes are now only the beginning added on to health wise. With so many snoring complications and no sign of the health risk list stopping anytime soon, it is vital for every regular habitual snoring individual to do all that they can to stop the snoring forever. Before there is a need to consider one of the invasive anti snoring surgeries, such as Somnoplasty, or one of the several other types of surgical procedures, it is best to try out some of the many other anti-snoring remedies now available. The magnitude of information available on Bronchitis Often can be found out by reading the following matter on Bronchitis Often. We ourselves were surprised at the amount!

At this point, there are now over 88 million snoring Americans, and a good 10% of these habitual snorers are beyond the embarrassing nuisance that snoring tends to be. Even though, habitual snoring is not a good safe way to live, but it is within this last 10% of excessively loud and breath stopping constant snoring that is found to be where the highest level of health demeaning risks will set in. Writing this composition on Bronchitis was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature. Make this contribution worthwhile by using it.

[size=large][b]About Tamiflu[/b][/size][hr]It's Manufacturer Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) is an oral antiviral treatment (not a vaccine) for influenza, and belongs to a class of drugs called neuraminidase inhibitors (NAI). It prevents the virus from spreading inside the body and works well against all strains.

[list][*]Type B influenza virus is the strain responsible for smaller infection outbreaks.[*]Once infected with this virus, the immune system successfully resists this type of virus for many years.[*]This type commonly infects uninfected children aged between 5-14 years.[/list]

[size=large][b]How to Treat Influenza Virus[/b][/size][hr]The flu targets your respiratory system (nose, lungs, throat and bronchial tubes).

So do go ahead and read this to learn more about Bronchitis.

Toddlers should be attended to by a pediatrician in the event of a high fever that lasts for a day and for adults a doctor should be consulted when the fever exceeds 103 degrees or lasts longer than two days and is accompanied by significant fatigue or any kind of pain. The elderly and those with diabetes, a weakened immune system, cardiovascular disease, pregnancy beyond the first trimester, lung disease or asthma should call their doctor when flu symptoms arrive.

[list][*]Type C influenza virus is a very mild strain of the infection, similar to symptoms of a common cold.[*]This can be treated with bed rest and plenty of fluid intake.[/list]

[size=large][b]Loss of Appetite[/b][/size][hr]Fever Congestion that turns to a runny nose Sore throat Cough that turns productive Exhaustion and weakness We were furnished with so many points to include while writing about Complications Bronchitis that we were actually lost as to which to use and which to discard!

[size=large][b]Side Effects of Tamiflu[/b][/size][hr]Possible Tamiflu side effects, although not common, include: Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Bronchitis Stomach pain Writing an article on Complications Bronchitis was our foremost priority while thinking of a topic to write on. This is because Complications Bronchitis are interesting parts of our lives, and are needed by us.

[size=large][b]Minimal Exertion[/b][/size][hr]It is better to stay in bed and recuperate through relaxation.. Keeping the fever in check - Young children often suffer higher fever during the flu. Remember that it is very important to have a disciplined mode of writing when writing. This is because it is difficult to complete something started if there is no discipline in writing especially when writing on Bronchitis Pneumonia.

[size=large][b]The Influenza Virus is Classified Into Three Categories: a, B, and C[/b][/size][hr]Type A is the most serious and usually appears every two or three years. Prone to mutation, it regularly produces nonresistant strains; has caused many epidemics; and is also responsible for pandemics, in which entire continents are affected. We have written a humorous anecdote on Bronchitis Pneumonia to make it's reading more enjoyable and interesting to you. This way you learn there is a funny side to Bronchitis Pneumonia too!

When administered according to its approved dosage (75 mg twice daily for 5 days), Tamiflu delivers a 38 per cent reduction in the severity of symptoms, a 67 per cent reduction in secondary complications such as bronchitis, pneumonia and sinusitis in otherwise healthy individuals and a 37 per cent reduction in the duration of influenza illness. This data were derived from seasonal outbreaks of influenza. It is only through sheer determination that we were able to complete this composition on Bronchitis. Determination, and regular time table for writing helps in writing essays, reports and articles.

Treatment must commence within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms for full efficacy. For post exposure prophylaxis the dosage is one 75mg capsule daily for up to 6 weeks. It is only because that we are rather fluent on the subject of Bronchitis Pneumonia that we have ventured on writing something so influential on Bronchitis Pneumonia like this!

Tamiflu is proven to be effective in adults and in children one year and older. What is an Influenza Virus? Influenza is a disease caused by a member of the Orthomyxoviridae. Many features are common with those of the Paramyxovirus infections of the respiratory tract. Influenza, commonly called - the 'flu'- is a serious disease caused by influenza A and B viruses, which usually occurs seasonally in the autumn and winter months. According to the WHO 3-5 million cases of seasonal influenza occur every year. Although there was a lot of fluctuation in the writing styles of we independent writers, we have come up with an end product on Complications Bronchitis worth reading! Big Grin.

[size=large][b]Comes in the Strength of[/b][/size][hr]Tamiflu can be used both for prevention and treatment of influenza. An oral medication, it is a convenient 75mg capsule which affects all key sites in the body where the virus multiplies. The dose for the adult treatment of influenza is a 75mg capsule, taken twice daily for five days. A pack of Tamiflu contains a full treatment course of 10 capsules. Smile

Drink plenty of water. Orange juice is good for its vitamin C content, too, and sports drinks like Gatorade help replenish electrolytes.

Bronchitis is a disease which affects many people and has affected one person at least once in a lifetime. Until now doctors have been prescribing antibiotics for bronchitis but researchers have proven that antibiotics are not so necessary in treating this condition and using them frequently only helps drug resistance to develop.

Studies have to be done in order to see whether antibiotic treatment is really necessary in these patients who suffer of bronchitis or it can be used only in severe cases. The idea is to avoid using antibiotics in excess as multi drug resistance can develop and soon the doctors will not be able to treat as common infection due to a lack of active antibiotics. Time and tide waits for no man. So once we got an idea for writing on Antibiotics Bronchitis, we decided not to waste time, but to get down to writing about it immediately!

Case the patient has purulent acute bronchitis, antibiotic treatment is necessary. Tetracycline, erythromycin, amoxicillin and ampicillin are suitable for treating this type of bronchitis as they are active upon the bacteria responsible for producing this disease. Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Antibiotics Bronchitis. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

As every year more than 10 million patients are treated in the emergency room for bronchitis with antibiotics, a group of researchers decided to see whether antibiotics like azithromycin are effective and really useful in treating bronchitis. The study was multicenter, randomized, and double-blind. As the information we produce in our writing on Bronchitis Antibiotic Treatment may be utilized by the reader for informative purposes, it is very important that the information we provide be true. We have indeed maintained this.

448 patients which presented cough with or without sputum were taken in consideration for this study. From the whole group, 340 were diagnosed with bronchitis, and 220 met the criteria for randomization. In the end189 patients completed the study. From these 189 patients, 97 received 250 mg/day of azithromycin, and 92 received 250 mg/day of vitamin C. Besides these two medications dextromethorphan syrup and an albuterol inhaler were also given to the patients who used them every 6 hours as needed. At 3 and 7 days the cough symptoms and limitations on activity were assessed. At the end of the study the researchers concluded that no statistical differences existed between the two groups. This means that antibiotic treatment is not so necessary for the cases of bronchitis and antitussive medication and beta2-agonists are the only ones who are really worth to be taken along with keeping a good hydration.

[list][*]Besides the drug-based on treatment the patient should know that rest and well hydration are essential for a quick recovery.[*]Fever is treated with ASA and acetaminophen.[*]Because bronchitis gives cough the patient should take antitussive medication like: chlophedianol, levopropoxyphene, dextromethorphan, and codeine.[*]They will act upon the medullary cough center and will suppress the cough reflex.[*]In case the patient coughs and has bronchial secretions which have to be expelled the doctor will prescribe expectorants.[*]They are decreasing the viscosity of the secretions helping them to be expelled better when coughing.[*]In the composition of expectorants iodides, ammonium chloride, terpin hydrate, syrup of ipecac, guaifenesin, and even creosote can be found.[*]In some cases acacia, glycerin, honey, or an extract of Prunus can be added to the composition of the expectorant.[*]Isn't it amazing how much information can be transferred through a single page?[*]So much stands to gain, and to lose about Acute Bronchitis through a single page.[/list]
