Patient's question:
Doctor, a few days ago, I took my child out to play, and after coming back, I noticed that my child wasn't feeling well. Recently, my child has been experiencing coughing and asthma symptoms. Seeing this, I took them to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said they had pediatric bronchial asthma. How can we prevent this disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello patient friend, asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease involving various cells (such as eosinophils, mast cells, T lymphocytes, neutrophils, airway epithelial cells, etc.) and cellular components. This chronic inflammation leads to airway hyperresponsiveness, typically presenting with widely variable reversible airflow limitation and causing symptoms such as recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or coughing. Generally, it is considered that treatment can be carried out under medical advice using bronchodilator drugs like β2 receptor agonists and anti-inflammatory drugs like corticosteroids, while also allowing for detailed regulation through Traditional Chinese Medicine.
