Can congenital allergic asthma be inherited?

Patient's question:

My husband has had allergic asthma since he was a child. After many years, he has been taking medication to control the condition, but it hasn't improved much. Now he wants to have a child and is a bit worried about the genetic issue. His mother says asthma can be inherited, but his asthma isn't congenital.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the genetics of allergic asthma are generally related to lifestyle and genes. Currently, there is no professional judgment that can directly determine whether a child can inherit it. However, there is a certain probability of inheritance, and it is not guaranteed that it will either not be inherited or will be inherited.
There are many causes of childhood bronchial asthma. If a child is diagnosed with childhood bronchial asthma, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
