Patient's question:
My baby is a child with allergic asthma, who often has attacks, struggling to catch his breath, and also has mild coughing and wheezing. Sometimes we worry terribly, and his small backpack is always filled with medication. We really hope this disease can be cured, after all, it's a lifelong matter for the child.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Your child is likely suffering from allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome. It is important to have your child diagnosed as soon as possible (ideally checking for adenoid hypertrophy) to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Once a clear diagnosis is made and the allergens are identified, desensitization or immunotherapy, combined with the use of spacers to eliminate allergic inflammation throughout the upper and lower respiratory tracts, can be effective in treating the condition.Advice: First, it is recommended to prevent your child from catching a cold. During flare-ups, oral antiallergic medications can be tried, such as ketotifen fumarate and chlorpheniramine. For severe cases, corticosteroids may be added. Additionally, bronchodilator medications and oxygen therapy should be used. If inflammation is present, anti-inflammatory treatment is also necessary.
It is crucial to avoid allergens that exacerbate the condition, such as cold air exposure. In winter, wearing a mask is advisable to avoid cold air. Also, check your home for potential allergens and avoid contact with them, such as certain foods, paint, recent renovations, incense, clothing, etc. Try to avoid outdoor environments rich in plant pollen as much as possible. If exposure to allergens is unavoidable, take necessary precautions.
