Aspergillosis: Signs, Causes and Treatment




Fungus, especially mold, cause an infection known as aspergillosis. Aspergillosis infection causes illness which severely affects the respiratory system. Different illnesses cause different symptoms in the body. ;

The mold that causes the infection is known by the name aspergillus, which is found everywhere inside and outside the living area like a house. There are many strains of mold, among them some are harmless but some cause severe illness to the body. People with weak immune systems can suffer high infection and can go under with diseases like lung disease and asthma.

Spores found in mold cause you asthma. This spores on inhaling through the nose, when they reach inside they trigger an allergic reaction. This reaction leads to mild or serious lung infections. ;

Aspergillosis has many forms of infection or layers of infection depending on to what extent it has gone in the body. Invasive aspergillosis is the serious form, this invasion or infection reaches to blood vessels and to tissues. Due to its variation it is necessary to know a particular type of infection, according to which there will be treatment.

Signs and symptoms: aspergillosis infect body in different form so the illness are of different type, which have different sign and symptoms:

Allergic reaction

People who have earlier asthma or cystic fibrosis tend to have an allergic reaction in the body on getting infected with aspergillus mold. The name given to the appearance of signs and symptoms of such allergic reactions is allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Sign are:



There will be fever


They will cough with blood or mucus.


Earlier asthma will wornsens its condition.





Aspergilloma

When people have pulmonary / chronic lung disease like emphysema, tuberculosis or advanced sarcoidosis, these diseases create cavities or air spaces inside the lungs. Mostly we can treat it with symptoms. ;

People with such diseases when they get infected with aspergillus mold, spores get inside along with their fungus fiber; this fungus part gets an area to grow inside the cavity caused by pulmonary diseases. As they grow into cavities and transform themselves into tangled masses/ fungus balls.

This fungus ball is known as aspergillomas. Earlier this did not cause any serious symptoms but later on being treated they caused serious symptoms. Earlier sign are of mild cough but later sigh are:



Hemoptysis, a condition in which blood comes while coughing along with the mucus.


Wheezing


Shortness of breath


There will be weight loss


There will be fatigue all the time.



Invasive aspergillosis

Invasive aspergillosis type of infection with the aspergillus mold is of serious type. In this the infection spread from lungs to blood vessels which inturn spread it to brain, heart, kidney and to skin. ;

People who have weak immune systems due to chemotherapy or due to abuse of drugs, transplantation of bone marrow, or hiv or whose immune system got damaged by serious infection, usually get invasive aspergillosis. Insavise form of aspergillosis is the most dangerous form because it can spread anywhere in the body.

The sign and symptoms of invasive aspergillosis are different in different people because it effect on organs differently in people: we may point out the general symptoms, they are:



They will suffer fever and chills.


They will suffer from hemoptysis. Hemoptysis, a condition in which blood comes while coughing along with the mucus.


There will be shortness of breath and if there is asthma it will be severe.


There is heavy pain in chest area.


Headaches or eye pain will be there.


Skin might develop lesions due to infection.





When to see a doctor: people who suffer from asthma or cystic fibrosis make a note of breathing. If there is change in your breathing please see the doctor immediately. People with weak immune systems who have frequent fever with coughs coming with blood and have shortness of breath should visit the doctor. They should not compare it with cold.

There will be shortness of breath and if there is asthma it will be severe.


There is heavy pain in chest area.


Headaches or eye pain will be there.


Skin might develop lesions due to infection.



;

Causes:

When plant or composite matter, plant leaves decay there will be aspergillus mold. We can find it in the grain field. There is an exposure with aspergillus everyday and there is no problem for people who have a healthy immune system.

Usually on inhaling fungus immunity cells target the fungus and destroy them. But people having weak immunity can't do it properly so allowing the fungus to grow and invade more inside leading to invasive and causing serious problems. ;

Medication usually weakens the immunity system. So it spreads deep in the body everywhere but it does not spread from person to person.

Treatment: there are antibiotics and other medication to deal with aspergillosis but for invasive there is little chance to deal with it.

Conclusion:

Aspergillus mold causes infection particularly to lungs but when left untreated it does invade inside which is fatal for the patient. There are signs to know but we should be careful especially people with other lung problems. For more information please visit the doctor.

Natural Remedies for Children's Allergies

Ayurvedic Doctor, Rupnagar
Natural Remedies for Children's Allergies




Have you ever noticed any unusual red spots on your child's skin after they have been playing outside? perhaps your daughter has been sneezing more often since she started petting the neighbor's cat, or your preteen son might have been rubbing his itchy, red eyes after mowing the lawn. ;



If you have observed any of the above mentioned symptoms in your child, it is important to know that they might be related, and there are ways you can help ease your little one's discomfort.

;

The children with the symptoms described above may be experiencing an allergic reaction. Such an allergic reaction can often be triggered by one or more of the following:



Pollen


Dust


Insect stings


Animal dander


Some foods


Certain medications



When and how does a child develop an allergy?

Allergies can develop in children of any age group, but they are most common after the age of three. Allergies usually occur when the immune system overreacts to a substance. That said, the fact that this process is entirely harmless should also be noted.

What actually happens is that when your child touches, breathes, or eats an allergen, their immune system tends to release histamines, which are basically chemicals that give rise to the symptoms of an allergic reaction. Allergens can cause a range of symptoms in different people, depending on their individual sensitivity and the type of allergen. They can cause not only respiratory problems or skin reactions but also other serious health problems in children.

Symptoms can begin as early as february and last until the end of september, depending on a child's location and what they are allergic to. A number of over-the-counter medications, such as steroid nasal sprays and antihistamines, can help your child during allergy season. Apart from that, there are also some natural diy methods or natural home remedies that may provide relief to your child.

You must note that the following are some of the best natural home remedies that can effectively deal with the most terrible seasonal allergies:

You must protect your child's eyes

Allergy symptoms in the eyes can be very irritating and troublesome for your little one. They might just hate the feeling of itchiness that usually stems from inflammation of the mucous membrane. You must know that mucus membrane covers the inner eyelids as well as the whites of the eyes.

To help combat this inflammation, it is suggested that parents dress their children in sunglasses and hats (with brims) when they go outside, with the aim of protecting their eyes. By doing so, you will not only protect your child's eye from dust, pollen, or even other allergens, but they are also less likely to rub their eyes and aggravate their symptoms.

Make your child try a saline solution

Nasal congestion in children is a common problem, and most parents try over-the-counter remedies before heading to the pediatrician. If your older child is suffering from nasal congestion, you might want to consider trying nasal irrigation with a saline solution.

This process can be carried out by using a store-bought solution or one that is prepared at home. It must be kept in mind that most recipes for homemade solutions call for mixing boiled (or distilled) water with salt that is not iodized. This method flushes out mucus and provides relief. Neti pots are another great option for combating congestion.

Use both cold and hot compresses

When your child has allergies, it can make them feel miserable. But there are many ways in which you can help them ease their symptoms. The best thing you can do is help your child avoid triggers and make them learn about medications or remedies that can help alleviate their symptoms.

You can also find a number of natural home remedies that are known to offer relief in allergy cases. To ease your little one's sinus pressure in a natural way, you must start by rinsing their face to remove any pollen that's causing the problem.

Thereafter, you must put a warm compress on your child's face, either on their nose or forehead. It must be done after you ask them where they exactly feel pressure. Apart from that, you can use an ice pack wrapped in a towel, or, for that matter, a wet, cold washcloth, to relieve your beloved child's itchy eyes.

Attempt to fend off or avoid outdoor allergies

During peak pollen season, try to keep all the windows and doors of your house closed in order to keep the pollen out. Also, make sure your child washes up and changes clothes when they step into the house from outside. Furthermore, in the fall and winter seasons, watch for outdoor mold or weed pollens that might be triggers for your child's allergy.

Handle any allergies existing inside your house

Dust mites are basically small creatures that live and reproduce in dusty environments. They are known to be the root cause of allergies in some people and can also make asthma symptoms worse. However, you must know that there are some special pillow and mattress covers available on the market that can help keep these dust mites away.

If possible, it is best to keep things like rugs, carpets, and drapes out of your child's room, as they are more likely to attract and collect dust. When you do clean, try to do so when your child is not in the room to limit their exposure to harmful chemicals. Another great idea is to limit the number of stuffed animals and wash existing ones frequently in order to reduce the number of dust mites that could potentially trigger allergies.

You can help keep your children safe from mold and dust mites by making sure they don't spend too much time in damp, humid areas. Keep the humidity in your home at 45% or lower to create an environment that is less hospitable for dust mites. It is also important to keep your furry friends out of the bedroom where you sleep so that you don't have to worry about dust mites that might trigger your child's allergies.

Conclusion:

It can be very difficult to watch your child suffer through the sniffles and sneezes of seasonal allergies. When you have a child that suffers from allergies, it can be difficult to find the right solutions to their problems. That is why we have created this article, so that you can learn more about the different natural remedies that are available to help treat your children s allergies.

Furthermore, we hope this article has been helpful in giving you some great ideas on how you can relieve your children s allergies and how to keep them healthy and happy throughout the year!

Diaper Rash - Some Common Questions Regarding It?

MBBS, MD (D.V.L.)
Dermatologist, Kolkata
Diaper Rash - Some Common Questions Regarding It?
Here are a few questions which every new mother wants to know when they have a diaper rash:

1)Should the baby's diet be changed during a diaper rash?

Certain food items such as fruit juices can lead to diarrhea in babies. This can lead to a diaper rash. When new food is introduced or antibiotics are given then that might also affect the digestion.

2)Are teething and diaper rash related?

As per dermatologists, the two have nothing in common though they might occur at the same time.

3)What ointment should be used for diaper rash?

Ointments like zinc oxide can provide relief in diaper rash. A thick layer should be applied on the skin to keep away irritants. If all of it rubbed off then it might cause pain.

4)Are cloth diapers an alternative?

The fact is that there is no proof that a cloth diaper might be better than the other diaper in case of a rash. In case disposable diapers are used then care should be taken to change them frequently as rashes can occur due to a moist environment. If the baby is allergic to a particular brand then changing the same could prove to be helpful. Diapers induced with fragrances and dyes can cause allergic reactions. Babies who are allergic to disposable diapers can do better with cloth ones, though they should be changed frequently. The rule is one diaper per hour so the needful should be done.

5)Which wipes are best for a baby in case of a sore bottom?

In case of a diaper rash a mild, fragrant free wipe should be used. A product with minimum products should be used. Wipes which are labeled as hypoallergenic or sensitive skin should be used.
If the baby poops then the baby should be cleaned with a cloth and water. A wet washcloth should be used and later some mineral oil should be applied on the bottoms.

6)What should be done if nappy rash extends to the other parts?

In case there are red spots and patches outside the nappy area then the baby might be suffering from infection. If this happens then consult your doctor.

7)What should be done to give relief to the baby?

The best thing to do is that the baby's bottom should get some air. Leave the baby without a diaper, as this gives his skin a break from the rubbing, and germs which might be present in wet places like a diaper. Application of zinc oxide pastes provides relief to a baby.

8)How long does the rash last?

Maximum 3 days.

Eye Allergies - Know The Homeopathic Treatment For Them!

BHMS, MD - Homeopathy

Eye Allergies - Know The Homeopathic Treatment For Them!
Eye allergies are characterized by red and itchy eyes which may result from various allergens coming in contact with the eye. Eye allergies can cause swelling of the eyelids, redness in the eyes and may also lead to conjunctivitis. Conventional treatments prescribe eye drops containing chemicals that may aggravate the condition.

Homeopathy-the best natural treatment for eye allergies-

The allopathic system relies mainly on steroids and anti-allergic medicines for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. Even then, it is unable to cure the allergy. It only ends up controlling it or keeping the symptoms under check. In homeopathy, the intention is to completely cure the allergy. Homeopathy recognises that the immune system of the body sometimes overreacts to some seemingly harmless things. This overreaction of the body is the root cause of problem.

Therefore, it tries to correct the immune system. In this the medicines that are used by homeopathy are perfectly natural medicines. None of the medicines are chemical in nature. They are made from natural sources like plants or fruits or vegetables or minerals. The basic material is further diluted by a special mechanism which reduces the content of the original matter while increasing its latent healing powers. That is why these natural homeopathic medicines do not have any side effects.

The homeopathic remedies for eye allergies are:

1. Euphrasia

This remedy is used to treat allergies which cause watery discharge from the eyes and which tends to have burning sensation on the skin. The condition tends to aggravate during the evening and in closed spaces.

2. Argentum nitricum

Argentum nitricum is used to treat eye allergies which show symptoms such as aversion to bright light and conjunctiva swelling. The symptoms may be accompanied by gas in the abdomen.

3. Ruta

This is an effective remedy for allergic conjunctivitis where you may experience a constant feeling of something being stuck in the eye. There may also be swelling in the eyelids, redness and continuous watery discharge.

4. Pulsatilla

Pulsatilla is recommended if symptoms such as itchy eyes, yellowish discharge from the eyes and swelling of the eyelids are present. Hot and humid climatic conditions tend to aggravate this.

5. Apis Mel

Apis Mel is another homeopathic remedy that is used to treat eye allergies. Symptoms such as swelling of the eyes, burning sensation and intense pain in the eyes are very common. The symptoms are aggravated by hot weather conditions and direct exposure to the sun.
