India's first home based allergic and asthma diagnostic and therapy services by Breathcare. We ensure focused assessment and asthma allergy test by experts.
Coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath are all symptoms of asthma, which is a persistent inflammation of the lungs' airways. When an individual is exposed to potential triggers such as pollution, tobacco smoke, industry emissions, cleaning solvents, illnesses, pollen, certain foods, and so on, these symptoms are intensified. According to the World Health Organization, India has between 15-20 million asthmatics, with some estimates putting the figure closer to 30 million.
It's no wonder that between 10-15 percent of all Indian children between the ages of 5 and 11 suffer from wheezing, asthma, or severe respiratory allergies, given that India has 13 of the world's 20 most polluted cities. Hazardous gases, pollutants, pollen, mites, and weather fluctuations can all contribute to these problems. Only half of these youngsters grow out of their asthma, making it the most frequent chronic illness among Indian children.
By analysing intake, exhalation, and rate of exhalation, we at Breath Care can identify asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory allergies in patients.
To help patients tackle various respiratory disorders, medication, allergen identification and avoidance, self-management programmes, patient counselling to encourage compliance, and immunotherapy are used at Breathcare. According to research, 40 percent of chronic asthmatics who used immunotherapy for a long time were able to quit taking their medicine completely. Immunotherapy has also been shown to help people with allergic rhinitis avoid developing asthma.
Allergies are a prevalent affliction that affects 20-30% of the global population. Every person is born with a set of inherited allergy genes. However, not everyone develops allergies since these genes are activated by a mix of environmental variables.
Respiratory allergies develop when our immune system mistakenly attacks harmless substances in the air we breathe. In the air, there is a vast amount of small, mostly innocuous particulate matter. They should be recognised as such by our immune system. However, in those who have genes that predispose them to allergies, certain environmental conditions activate some genes while deactivating others, resulting in allergy symptoms. As a result, specialised immunoglobulin E is produced to combat certain allergies. As a result, allergies strengthen our bodies' resilience to allergens.
Allergies to foods occur in a similar way. While these allergies are more common in children, they can also affect adults. However, it's critical to determine whether the allergy is triggered by a meal or an environmental irritation. Some symptoms, for example, are caused by an allergic reaction to plant pollen, which reacts badly with some raw meals.
Coughing, sneezing, phlegm build-up, dyspnea, rashes, itchy skin, a runny nose, loose stools, and burning eyes are all clear signs of allergies. A Skin Prick Test is used to determine the true origin of an allergy by introducing the suspected allergen to the body through a superficial scratch. If the person is allergic to that allergen, a little swelling, similar to that of a mosquito bite, will appear and last for about an hour.
Once the origin of an allergy has been determined, it is simple to not only treat particular clinical symptoms medically but also to determine an individual's "allergy threshold" and manage allergen exposure. This method can often result in a reduction in the amount of medication required, and finally, the termination of medical reliance. Breath Care Health Services is India's first allergy, asthma, and respiratory care clinic, comprising top pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and allergy specialists with vast expertise in both India and overseas. The most crucial part of this approach is providing key information to patients in an easy-to-understand style.
The Breath Care programme focuses on first determining whether or not a person is atopic (prone to allergies) and then determining the severity of an allergy. After determining the causative allergens and their associated triggers, essential treatment techniques such as asthma allergy tests, medication, immunotherapy, and allergy avoidance are applied. Our experienced staff can give better results to you. Our Respiratory therapy and Icu care at home will also provide better relief to the Asthma Patients.
Breath Care works with leading hospitals, experienced doctors, nurses, diagnostic centers and others to improve health outcomes for patients as well as profitability for our partners.
