What is the reason why the child always feels short of breath?

Patient's question:

The child is nine years old and always feels short of breath when lying down before going to sleep, but it returns to normal after falling asleep. Sometimes during the day, the child also experiences this condition. The child has allergic rhinitis, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis, but does not cough. Is this a reaction of allergic asthma?

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis:
1. Hello, asthma is often caused by allergic factors and can be triggered by upper respiratory infections. If asthma is not treated promptly, it may lead to pneumonia.
Suggestions:
Currently, your child's treatment should focus on reducing the allergic reaction in the trachea, alleviating cold symptoms, and reducing pneumonia symptoms. Azithromycin can be administered via infusion, and aminophylline can be used to relieve tracheal spasm and contraction.
