Patient's question:
The baby coughs a few times every morning, feels like there is phlegm, and hears a bit of rough breathing in the back. However, it has never been severe. The baby's spirits, diet, and sleep are all good, and there are no other abnormalities. The nose feels often stuffy. It has been like this for about a few weeks. Twice this year, during the change of seasons, the baby experienced shortness of breath. Once was after getting a vaccine, which led to it. Later, it was treated and cured, but after a while, it returned to the current condition. Is it asthma? Does this condition count as a disease? The baby is afraid to go to the hospital, fearing that they will be prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. If it doesn't require a hospital visit, how should it be adjusted at home? Additionally, the baby's palms and soles are very hot, and I don't know why. How should it be adjusted?Doctor's answer:
Hello, bronchial asthma and respiratory infections can trigger asthma attacks. It is recommended to pay attention to keeping warm to prevent symptoms from worsening after a cold. It is suggested to use sodium cromoglicate medication for prophylactic treatment, which can reduce airway hyperresponsiveness. At the same time, it is important to keep warm and provide bronchodilator medication for anti-inflammatory treatment during an attack.
