Patient's question:
The baby has asthma, and it's been four months. Whenever he catches a cold, it triggers an attack. He's taken a lot of medication, but it's still painful for him, and the family is also worried. Is there any home remedy that can help treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, dietary therapy is acceptable. Since diet itself can sometimes trigger or worsen asthma, children with asthma should avoid overly salty, sweet, or pungent and spicy foods. Additionally, children allergic to certain foods like fish, shrimp, etc., should avoid them, especially when they have a cold, to prevent triggering or exacerbating the condition.Asthma-Preventing Congee:
