Patient's question:
Health consultation description: The baby coughed for a week when she was 12 months old and developed asthma due to delayed treatment. Recently, whenever the cold air comes, she coughs and has a runny nose. Even cough syrup and other medications did not provide significant relief! I made a nebulizer for her at home. How can we prevent this from recurring?Doctor's answer:
The baby had symptoms of a viral infection at that time, which had affected the throat and pharynx. Timely suppression can prolong the course of the illness. Additionally, with the baby's own ability to fight it off, they suffered less. In daily life, pay attention to the baby's diet, drink plenty of plain water, and feed them more fruits. Avoid stomach issues. Currently, the baby's symptoms are somewhat like allergic bronchitis with asthma, and hormone inhalation has already been started. The medication should be stopped only when the symptoms improve.
