Patient's question:
The child has bronchial asthma and has been experiencing shortness of breath recently. The child's face is often pale, and I always see them sitting there struggling to breathe. I took the child to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my child has bronchial asthma, and it is essential to treat the bronchial asthma in the child. Could you give me some advice?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment methods for pediatric bronchial asthma: Generally speaking, based on clinical experience, pediatric bronchial asthma before the age of 12 is primarily focused on expectorant, cough relief, and anti-inflammatory treatment. Approximately 70% of children will recover from asthma during puberty. However, it should be noted that children with poor lung function may continue to experience the condition long-term into adulthood. On the other hand, if a child with acute bronchial asthma is hospitalized for one week and their blood test results are stable and normal, their physical examination (PE) shows no abnormalities, and there are no dry or wet rales or subxiphoid murmurs in the lungs upon reexamination, they can be discharged.
