Patient's question:
The child had a cold a few weeks ago and had a severe cough. Listening to their breathing wasn't good either. They were treated for a long time, with intravenous drips. But not long after, the child started coughing again and had some shortness of breath. This made our whole family scared, fearing the child might have bronchial asthma. We want to know what symptoms this disease has?Doctor's answer:
Hello, before the onset of bronchial asthma symptoms, it is usually first noticed with itchy eyes and nose, clear nasal discharge, nasal congestion, and sneezing. This is followed by coughing, and then symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath appear, with the most prominent symptom being rapid breathing. It cannot be said that just because the conditions are met, it is definitely bronchial asthma. It is essential to undergo instrumental testing to avoid misdiagnosis and affect treatment.
