哮鸣是呼吸时发出的高调哨声。哮鸣往往与呼吸困难有关。哮鸣可能在呼出（呼气）或吸入（吸气）期间出现。
伴有感冒或上呼吸道感染 (URI) 症状的轻度哮鸣并不一定需要治疗。
如果您出现原因不明、反复发作或伴有以下任何体征和症状的哮鸣，请就医：
如果哮鸣为如下情况，请寻求急救护理：
- 在蜜蜂蜇伤、服药或摄入致过敏食物后突然开始
- 伴随重度呼吸困难、肤色发蓝
- 因小物件或食物呛噎后发生
在某些情况下，可通过某些药物或使用吸入器缓解哮鸣。在其他情况下，您可能需要紧急治疗。
自我护理措施
为了缓解与感冒或上呼吸道感染 (URI) 相关的轻度哮鸣，请尝试以下方法：
- 空气加湿。使用加湿器，洗蒸汽浴，或者坐在关门的浴室里，同时开着淋浴器。在某些情况下，潮湿的空气可能有助于缓解轻度哮鸣。
- 饮用液体。热水可能松弛气道，并松解咽喉中粘稠的黏液。
- 避免吸烟。主动或被动吸烟可能加重哮鸣。
- 服用所有开具的药物。遵从医嘱。
