Patient's question:
My son is sick again. This time, he has bronchial asthma. The child has been coughing continuously. He took some cold and cough medicine before, but it didn't help. I didn't pay attention to him, and he ate some biscuits again. Really, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways 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. These symptoms often occur at night and/or early morning, and most patients can relieve themselves or improve with treatment.
