respiratory diseases

Nebulization is a great home treatment for sinusitis, be it acute or chronic, dry or with secretion, as it helps to humidify the airways and fluidize the secretions, unblocking the airways, thus facilitating breathing. It should be done 2 to 3 times a day for about 15 to 20 minutes and preferably in the morning or before bedtime

The treatment of pneumonia caused by Legionella Pneumophila , also known as Legionnaire's disease, is usually done in hospital for 7 to 10 days with the injection of antibiotics prescribed by the doctor, such as: Ciprofloxacin; Azithromycin; Levofloxacin; Gemifloxacin; Trovofloxacin; Erythromycin

Pulmonary hypertension is a disease caused by increased blood pressure in the bloodstream that connects the lungs to the heart, which can be caused by lung disease, heart failure, inflammatory diseases, or even of unknown origin. This increased pressure, caused by increased resistance of the vessels in the lungs, should be treated by the pneumonologist or cardiologist, with the use of drugs that work by relaxing blood vessels, such as some antihypertensive drugs, as well as rest and oxygen use

Asthma is a disease that is mainly caused by allergies that affect certain people and therefore, the person is born with asthma but the disease can manifest at any stage of life. The most common is the child presenting with symptoms such as difficulty breathing, wheezing whenever he breathes and is near animals such as cat or dog, cigarette smoke or in a very dusty place

Asthma bronchitis is inflammation of the lungs, which are places where air passes, caused by an allergy, and therefore, it is often called allergic bronchitis, or simply Asthma. Asthmatic bronchitis is a disease that does not "get" because it is not transmissible from one individual to another

Water in the lung, known scientifically as pulmonary edema, occurs when the lungs become full of fluid, preventing the entry of oxygen and the output of carbon dioxide. The accumulation of fluid in the lung usually occurs when you have a problem with the cardiovascular system, such as heart failure, but it can also occur when there is a lung injury such as infections or exposure to toxins, for example

Treatment for lung water, known scientifically as pulmonary edema, should be done as soon as possible in the hospital to maintain adequate oxygen levels and avoid serious complications such as respiratory arrest or failure of vital organs. Since the lungs are filled with fluid and can not absorb enough oxygen, treatment should be started by supplying large amounts of oxygen through a face mask

Pleural effusion occurs due to the excessive accumulation of fluid in the pleural space, which is the space created between the lung and the outer membrane that covers it. This buildup hampers normal lung work and therefore breathing can be severely affected, and treatment should be done as soon as possible in the hospital to remove excess fluid

Influenza is a common, easily contagious disease that produces symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and runny nose. Its treatment includes rest, healthy eating, nutrient rich, but easy to swallow and digest, but in some cases the doctor may prescribe the use of medications, especially if you have a fever and when it comes to swine flu or H1N1 flu

Influenza is an infection caused by the Influenza virus, which has several subtypes that cause recurrent infections, especially in children up to 5 years of age and in the elderly. Even though it is a common illness, there are several questions about the flu, what are the symptoms, if you take a hot bath and then go cold causes the disease, if the vaccine causes flu and what is the difference between flu and cold

Fungal sinusitis is a type of sinusitis that occurs when fungi lodge in the nasal cavity forming a fungal mass. This disease is characterized by an inflammation that can cause severe lesions in the nasal mucous of the individuals. Fungal sinusitis is more frequent in areas with hot and humid weather

Ondine syndrome, also known as congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, is a rare genetic disease that affects the respiratory system. People with this syndrome breathe very lightly, especially during sleep, which causes a sudden decrease in the amount of oxygen and an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammation in the lungs, caused by an allergy, which causes the individual to have difficulty breathing. Asthma has no cure , is not transmitted from person to person, nor does it change from father to son, however, the children of an asthmatic have a greater chance of developing asthma at any stage of life

Bronchitis in pregnancy should be treated the same way as before pregnancy to relieve symptoms such as cough with or without expectoration and difficulty breathing, which can decrease the amount of oxygen that arrives for the baby, which may hamper its development and delay growth. Thus, bronchitis in pregnancy is only dangerous if the pregnant woman decides to stop or reduce the amount of medication she has always taken to control the disease, since when this happens, the crises become more serious and more frequent and can be harmful for the baby

The treatment of childhood pneumonia lasts about 7 to 14 days because it depends on the causative agent and can be done at home using antibiotics such as oral amoxicillin or penicillin injection prescribed by the pediatrician. During the treatment of childhood pneumonia, it is recommended that the child remain at rest, without going to school, or other public places, as childhood pneumonia can be contagious especially when it is caused by viruses

The flu can become pneumonia due to the worsening influenza, when the secretions filled with the Influenza virus reach the deeper parts of the lung, the alveoli, where oxygen exchanges occur, which greatly impairs respiration and consequently there is less oxygen in all the tissues of the body. Signs and symptoms that can indicate a pneumonia include high fever and difficulty breathing, being common cough with greenish or rusty phlegm

Treatment of bacterial pneumonia is usually done in the hospital with the use of antibiotics prescribed by the pulmonologist, such as azithromycin, ceftriaxone or levofloxacin, for example for about 3 to 7 days, but may be extended to 15 or 21 days, according to the state of health of the individual

The treatment for tuberculosis is done by taking oral antibiotics, such as Isoniazid and Rifampicin, which eliminate the bacteria that cause the disease to appear in the body. Since the bacteria is very resistant, it is necessary to do the treatment for about 6 months, although in some cases it can last between 18 months and 2 years until healing is achieved

Treatment for acute pulmonary edema should be started as soon as possible in the emergency room with an oxygen mask and diuretic medicines directly into the vein, such as Furosemide, to increase the amount of urine and eliminate excess fluid in the lungs. In addition, it is also necessary to properly treat the disease that caused the problem, which may include high blood pressure medicines such as Captopril, or Lisinopril to treat decompensated heart failure, for example

Acute pulmonary edema, also known as acute pulmonary edema or pulmonary edema, is an emergency situation, characterized by the accumulation of fluid inside the lungs that causes difficulty in breathing and a feeling of drowning, which can lead to death. Generally, acute pulmonary edema is more common in patients with cardiovascular problems, such as congestive heart failure or hypertension, due to the increased pressure in the capillaries of the lungs that causes blood to enter the alveoli in the lungs, creating a similar situation to drowning
