When the smooth muscle layer of the lungs swells and expands and contracts the airflow, it may cause airway tightening. An episode may be mild, manageable or severe and requires immediate medical attention. Airway tension is usually caused by a cold, a viral infection, an allergen or an irritant. The airway narrows as the airway expands, reducing the amount of air available. Complications caused by asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can also affect your airways.
Drugs delivered through the inhaler help relieve the tightened airways.

In severe cases, a person with a nervous airway may have a blue hue or experience of chaos, rapid heartbeat or chest pain on his skin. When breathing in the inward direction, intercostal retraction occurs when your skin is trapped between the ribs, and it may also signal a contraction of the airway.
Doctors often use drugs to treat airway tension. Salbutamol is the most commonly used drug for this purpose, entering the respiratory tract through the inhaler and relaxing the airways and increasing airflow by relaxing the smooth muscles of the lungs. Salbutamol is a drug called short-acting beta 2 agonist that provides rapid relief and can last for hours.
Ipratropium bromide is another type of inhaler that relaxes the airways and relaxes the lungs by regulating the body. Inflammation process. Some inhalers contain albuterol and ipratropium. Typically, this combination is used to treat patients who do not respond well to a single prescription inhaler. A long-acting version of salbutamol and ipratropium bromide can treat people with chronic asthma or COPD.
When drugs such as salbutamol and ipratropium bromide have proven unsuccessful, doctors often switch to corticosteroids and can be administered orally or as an inhaler. Corticosteroids mimic the naturally occurring hormones of your body and work to calm the lungs that are responsible for tightening the airways. Prednisone, cortisone and hydrocortisone are examples of corticosteroids.
According to the needs of patients, the successful management of diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is highly personalized and should be carried out in a careful direction. Doctors.
