Dusty bronchitis: symptoms, treatment

Dust bronchitis is a form of ordinary, all known bronchitis, but which has specific symptoms and stages of the disease course that characterize it. This disease is a certain pathology of the lungs( mainly professional), which is caused by multiple lesions of bronchioles of the lungs. By its nature and qualities, this disease belongs to the list of chronic diseases, which are also specific diseases, the basis of which has the usual nature of the origin of simple bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis, which includes many varieties and subgroups of bronchitis, is a fairly common disease that occurs in more than 15% of the entire population.

Predisposition to dusty bronchitis has people of "dusty" specialties, where there is a direct negative effect on the respiratory system. An increased problem of bronchitis is observed in the field of foundries and metallurgical enterprises, where more than 35% of employees have some form of bronchitis, which has become a chronic or occupational disease. Particularly dangerous work with bulk goods, such as cement, tuff, pumice, which can cause diseases of chronic dust bronchitis.

Dusty bronchitis, the symptoms of which in particular resemble ordinary bronchitis in the acute stage, is no less dangerous to human health and causes a higher irritation of the respiratory system than the usual form of bronchitis. Symptoms of dust non-obstructive bronchitis are as follows:

• Moderate cough, sometimes arising without cause and continuous duration of up to 10-15 minutes. Cough can be dry, or with a little sputum secretion
• Certain lack of air with a hard breathing, especially with strong physical exertion.
• Dry, non-permanent wheezing is also possible, as with conventional bronchitis, or stronger.
• There is no change in the X-ray, and there are no signs of heart problems.

In acute forms of bronchitis, all indicators may worsen, including cough with pain and sputum discharge, and bronchitis will be accompanied by a sharp shortage of air, even with minimal body burden.
A particular problem will be characterized by the disease in workers of dust production, where in less than 3-4 days work will simply be impossible through severe suffocation and lack of air.
Dusty bronchitis refers to the obstructive variant of the conventional variant of bronchitis( relative to pathogenesis), which can also develop with prolonged exposure of dust particles to the bronchi.

Treatment of dust bronchitis

Treatment of bronchitis should be carried out carefully, starting from the very first stages of its development, since in a more advanced form of the disease development, treatment will be much more difficult, more expensive and longer, and it is possible to get complications that are equivalent to complications in conventional bronchitis(Complications on the heart are especially important).In the early stages of the development of the disease can be treated even by preventive methods in the usual conditions of health resorts, where the disease can be avoided without the use of special medication.

Dusty bronchitis can be treated by increasing the general immune system of the body and its resistance to diseases by taking adaptogens, applying a variety of physical exercises, exercise, eating vitamin complexes and other things. In the preventive treatment of dust bronchitis, the strengthening of bronchioles is provided by inhalation with the use of various alkaline solutions for 12-14 days and no less than 2 times a year. In this case, the supporting qualities of the shell of the bronchial tree are stimulated, which will make it possible to protect the patient from the disease by almost 100%.

If bronchitis is more advanced and has a first or second stage, then additional procedures are added to preventive measures, which help to effectively combat dust bronchitis. In this range of procedures includes special breathing exercises, additional chest massage and restore the original qualities and properties of the respiratory apparatus. Sometimes the sanitation of foci of dust bronchitis is carried out, if such treatment is envisaged at this stage of the disease development.
If bronchitis is already pronounced and has an acute stage of development, then complex, long-term methods of eliminating the disease should be applied, which may include even hospital treatment. But in most cases it is possible to cure dusty bronchitis at home with the use of drugs to improve the drainage function of the bronchus, also with the use of drugs that are focused on the destruction of pathogenic bronchial infection. It is also necessary to use often drugs to relieve bronchospasm, but preliminary consultation with the doctor in charge is necessary in this case.

Dusty bronchitis, symptoms( treatment of it) also requires an integrated approach to the treatment of the cardiovascular system, which often suffers from bronchitis and is especially important for the treatment of the cardiovascular system in chronic bronchitis. In this case, in addition to physiotherapeutic methods of treatment and general treatment of the respiratory system, oxygen inhalation and stabilization of blood pressure are carried out. In certain cases of dusty bronchitis, there is regular monitoring of patients at least twice a year, which helps prevent further progression of the disease. Control over patients with dusty bronchitis is usually carried out in the autumn and spring period, when the disease is often progressive and can cause complications when untimely treatment.
