Patient's question:
A 5-year-old child with allergic asthma, can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, don't always think about asthma, because you will always be disappointed. With the current level of medical treatment and technology, Western medicine can control it well, but is very difficult. It can be controlled for many years without any symptoms, but it is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is recommended that you identify the allergen, pay attention to your lifestyle, and adopt desensitization treatment. Since most asthma is caused by allergic rhinitis or an allergic constitution, desensitization treatment should still be the main approach. Misdiagnosis or improper treatment can bring patients a heavy economic burden and spiritual and physical suffering. In my opinion, treating asthma is not about the hospital but about the doctor, because the diagnosis and treatment of asthma require a doctor's skills and experience. The level of the doctor determines the patient's fate. Especially since most asthma is accompanied by symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as morning sneezing and runny nose, it may be allergic rhinitis asthma syndrome. This condition is easily misdiagnosed and mistreated. Once diagnosed as allergic rhinitis asthma syndrome, it should be treated by using a spacer to eliminate allergic inflammation in the upper and lower respiratory tracts, combined with desensitization treatment and prevention, to cure it. This requires a highly skilled doctor. I suggest you go to your local allergy center to check for allergens. Targeted prevention and desensitization treatment are the correct approaches. The best treatment time for children with allergic asthma is between 4 and 14 years old. If it repeatedly recurs and becomes adult asthma before treatment, it will be too late. Family health care measures for children with allergic asthma: Repeated attacks of asthma in children can sometimes be life-threatening, but parents of children with this condition do not need to be too anxious, because current medical care measures can prevent asthma. First, identify the allergen. You can go to the hospital for skin allergy tests. Allergens are numerous, such as pollen, alcohol, gasoline, dust mites, and dust. Some children are allergic to one substance, while others are allergic to several. Numerous studies have shown that not all asthma patients can find an allergen, and not all allergic patients develop asthma. If an allergen can be found, reducing or avoiding contact with this substance can reduce asthma attacks. Second, provide children with sufficient nutrition, such as adequate protein (but be careful about whether the child is allergic to a certain protein), and eat more vegetables. Water should not be neglected, and children should not be picky eaters. Third, pay attention to physical exercise from a young age. Daily outdoor activities should be encouraged to breathe fresh air. Infants can do passive exercises, and older children can exercise on their own, such as walking or jogging, which can exercise lung function. Fourth, pay attention to your child's warmth, especially during seasonal changes and cold weather, to add or remove clothes in a timely manner, and to avoid upper respiratory tract infections as much as possible. Additionally, keep some medications at home, such as bronchodilators: theophylline,, or inhalers like, which can be used at any time during acute attacks. Wishing your child good control and an early relief from the suffering of asthma.
