Patient's question:
My child is now 30 months old and has poor health. He has had pneumonia four times and also suffers from asthma, making him very prone to getting sick. The hospital examination indicated that he has an allergic constitution and weak immunity. It is important to pay attention to his condition. I would like to ask the following: How should his diet be adjusted on a daily basis? What kind of food is reasonable for him to eat? Since many things are off-limits due to allergies, I don’t know what to prepare for him. How can I improve his immune system? (Currently taking traditional Chinese medicine) Are there any books you can recommend on this topic?Doctor's answer:
Asthma and pneumonia are common and frequently occurring diseases in children. Now, there is phlegm and a wheezing sound. If the child has a weakened immune system, they are more prone to pneumonia. In this case, it is recommended to consult with a local clinical doctor and actively treat the symptoms based on the child's condition. Avoid blindly using medication for treatment! It's still best to go to the hospital. The child is too young, so don't be careless.For wheezing bronchitis, the first step is antiviral treatment, followed by the use of some bronchodilators to improve respiratory function. Alternatively, you can first use a salbutamol inhaler to inhale for bronchodilation. This can help alleviate the condition, reduce the child's discomfort, and simultaneously actively pursue anti-inflammatory treatment.
