Doctor's answer:
AnswerHello, asthma is an inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract with a high incidence rate, especially in children. It is also known as bronchial asthma. The main factors contributing to its onset include genetics and the environment. In terms of environmental factors, common triggers include allergens inhaled, exercise-induced episodes, and respiratory infections, which can lead to symptoms such as wheezing and difficulty breathing. The condition is primarily treated with medication, and symptoms often subside on their own or with immediate self-medication. However, prompt and appropriate treatment is still necessary. Severe symptoms may lead to ischemia and hypoxia, potentially causing central nervous system damage and other serious complications. It is recommended to seek timely treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. In daily life, it is important to exercise regularly, maintain a nutritious diet, and strengthen the body to avoid asthma attacks triggered by allergens.
