Patient's question:
My cousin has symptoms such as shortness of breath, sneezing, sitting up to breathe, dry cough, difficulty breathing, coughing, airway obstruction, and wheezing. He has been hospitalized for a long time, and the doctor said he suffers from asthma and that there is hope for recovery. Is that true?Doctor's answer:
Hello, during the remission phase of asthma, skin scratch or intradermal tests using suspected allergens can be performed, and inhalation challenge tests can be conducted if conditions permit. These tests can help diagnose allergens, but it should be noted that highly sensitive patients may sometimes trigger asthma and systemic reactions, or even anaphylactic shock. Close observation is required, and appropriate measures should be taken promptly.
