Patient's question:
My daughter had been coughing frequently and had phlegm in her throat and runny nose a few weeks ago. She went to the hospital for a check-up, and the result was a cold. After taking medicine for a few days, she showed some improvement, but now she is coughing again with phlegm that she can't cough up, and she also has a fever. She went to the hospital for an X-ray, and the result was bronchial asthma. I would like to ask for advice on what to do when my child has bronchial asthma and keeps having a fever.Doctor's answer:
Hello! This disease is common among children and adolescents. Bronchial asthma is not an incurable condition. You can find a reputable respiratory hospital to seek medical attention.If the child's fever triggers bronchial asthma, it is important to provide them with plenty of fluids. The diet should primarily consist of semi-liquid foods, such as rice soup or egg soup, to increase body moisture and meet the body's needs. A small, frequent meals approach should be adopted, offering light, nutritious, balanced, easily digestible semi-liquid or liquid diets, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or egg custard.
