Patient's question:
When the doctor suggested treating it as asthma, I also took Montelukast for three months. While taking it, the effect was quite good, but after stopping the medication, the symptoms returned. Then the doctor asked me to use inhaled corticosteroids for my child, but I refused. When my baby was a little over two weeks old, I also went to the Nanjing Children's Hospital. The doctor there said it couldn't be diagnosed as asthma yet, so I breathed a sigh of relief. But now my child is four weeks old, and the symptoms are still the same, which makes me very uneasy. So, please help me, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Children with asthma need to choose a long-term treatment plan based on the situation.Suggestions: It is recommended to check lung function, allergens, etc.; for treatment, inhaled medications are commonly used in Western medicine, while traditional Chinese medicine practitioners may combine herbal medicine with acupoint patch application. Maintain a balanced diet and eat less food with many additives.
There are many triggers that can cause childhood bronchial asthma. If a child is diagnosed with childhood bronchial asthma, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, 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 reasonable diet.
