Dr Kurian Thomas

Pulmonology  Centre for Asthma Allergy Thrissur patients are under the care of  Retired Professor Dr Kurian Thomas . Asianet TV Channel had broadcast an interesting Live Programme about Asthma Allergy and its management by Dr Kurian . This is the third Part. In this Dr Kurian Thomas is taking Calls live from patients across the globe. There are a lot of misconceptions about asthma and allergy and its management. Some adults with smoking mistakenly think that they have asthma. But it is not correct. They have to stop smoking . Then they can use inhalers also. Some have severe sneezing but are afraid about nasal spray.  Best treatment for allergic Rhinitis is Inhalers. Anti-inflammatory Inhalers are miracle medications for both nasal and wheezy symptoms.

Misconceptions 

Medication as as inhalers for Asthma and Allergy are very safe . It is better to control the disease by slowly stepping down the dose by regular follow up with your doctor, preferably a Pulmonologist.

Allopathy versus Other systems of Medicine in Asthma Allergy Treatment

Dr Kurian Thomas is of the view that Allopathic Modern Medicine treatment is so dramatic in its control of Asthma and Allergy that it is not cost effective to go to any other system of treatment in India. The inhaled medications are even more safe than any other treatment in its quick and safe and immediate effect. Side effects are nil . Dose required is only 5 % of any other route of admission.  Just  like dermatologist use skin ointments; with 100% safety; we Pulmonologists spray the inhaled medications into the nose and airways  with 100% safety as the medication does not reach the blood . Patients doubts are cleared lucidly in this interview.
