Patient's question:
Because of the cold, I stayed at Chang'an County Hospital for half a month but didn't get better, so I entered Xi'an Children's Hospital. The symptoms are phlegm in the throat and severe shortness of breath when exhaling. I have been to 3-4 children's hospitals in total. A small cold has caused asthma. The child has just turned one year old.Doctor's answer:
Hello! After identifying the allergen, it should be avoided to prevent further exposure. Since indoor dust or mites can trigger asthma attacks, it is important to keep the room clean, frequently air out bedding, and keep windows open to maintain fresh air. It is not advisable to keep small animals like cats or dogs indoors. Regular physical exercise should be practiced, such as cold showers or dry towel rubs, to strengthen the skin and help relax the tension of the vagus nerves in the lungs, trachea, and bronchi. Enhancing nutrition, avoiding mental stress, preventing colds, and avoiding excessive fatigue are also important in preventing asthma attacks.
