Preventing Broncitis with Nutritional Immunology

Lately has been seeing a lot of story about bronchitis, and for the acute case it could be deadly.

Let's understand more about bronchitis.

It's a inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, which usually coming into either acute form or chronic form.

Acute bronchitis - 90% of them are due to virus infection, only 10% of them are caused by bacteria infection.

Chronic bronchitis - Chronic bronchitis usually develops due to recurrent injury to the airways caused by inhaled irritants, e.g. pollutants or smoking.

Most of the case for kids, the bronchitis occurs is acute one. But do you know how to differentiate whether it's due to bacteria or virus?

Bacteria - more complex organisms. If it's bacteria infection, the mucous we are seeing is green/yellowish, in color.

Virus - non living. If it's virus infection, the mucous we are seeing is transparent in color.

Next, mother always ask. I will get doctor to give me antibiotic and that will resolve the problem. Isn't it the case??

Antibiotic doesn't kill virus






















For the case of bronchitis, do take note if it's due to virus or bacteria infection and leading to inflammation.

Do take note on the side effects of the medication used for bronchitis also.

The US FDA has warned against misuse of antibiotics, stating that "bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infections are remarkably resilient and can develop ways to survive the drugs meant to kill or weaken them. This antibiotic resistance is due largely to the increasing use of antibiotics."

Some NSAIDS (non steroid anti inflammatory drug are used to stop the inflammation too.

There is nothing better than our own Immune System to fight against the root cause that cause the bronchitis and stop the inflammation.

So how to let our B cells to fight against those invaders then??

Best is to nourish our immune system with more phytochemicals, antioxidants and polysaccharides.
