Patient's question:
When my child was born, there were no major problems, but as he grew older, he started coughing and having difficulty breathing. Now, after examination, he has been diagnosed with bronchial asthma. He has been taking medication and his condition has been stable, but I am worried that it might recur after the medication is stopped.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Asthmatic bronchitis in children (also known as wheezing bronchitis) is a special type of episodic bronchitis that occurs in infants and young children (under the age of 3). It refers to a group of allergic acute bronchial infections characterized by wheezing symptoms.Advice: Hello, asthmatic bronchitis in children is more common during late autumn or winter-spring seasons, and the onset is often sudden. In addition to bronchitis symptoms, children may also exhibit asthma-like symptoms and have a tendency to experience recurrent episodes. Under normal circumstances, as infants and young children grow older, their respiratory systems continue to develop, their immune function gradually matures, and their resistance gradually strengthens. Most of the wheezing symptoms in children will subside or even disappear. Only if specific constitutional factors or other factors are present without appropriate intervention may it develop into bronchial asthma.
