Patient's question:
My child is now one and a half years old. Since February of this year, he has had repeated episodes of bronchitis and has been hospitalized multiple times. By May, he was diagnosed with bronchial asthma at the Xi'an Children's Hospital. After returning home, he has been following the doctor's advice by using inhaler and taking tablets. For several months, he hasn't had any further attacks, so the medication dosage has been gradually reduced.The other day, my child caught a cold and had a runny nose for two days. Suddenly, his asthma flared up again, with severe coughing and wheezing. We went to our local county hospital for a check-up, and the doctor recommended hospitalization. A chest X-ray was taken, but the results were normal. A blood test showed a hemoglobin level of 7.9 and a C-reactive protein level of 10. However, we did not get admitted because the hospital here has no medications for treating asthma.
Doctor's answer:
The medication is usually sprayed for about 2 years. Desensitization treatment may not be available at our hospital; acupuncture is generally used instead.
