Patient's question:
A few days ago, my child had a cold and took many medications, but nothing seemed to help. Later, he started coughing and also lost his appetite. He didn't want to play with other children. We took him to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said he had bronchial asthma. I would like to ask, what are the symptoms of this condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with pediatric bronchial asthma may become restless and experience difficulty breathing, with exhalation difficulties being particularly prominent. They often cannot lie flat and may sit with their shoulders raised and backs bent, displaying signs of orthopnea. At times, wheezing sounds can be heard outside. The children may appear pale, with flared nostrils, cyanotic lips and nails, and even profuse sweating, looking frightened and anxious, often indicating a critical condition that requires prompt treatment.
