Patient's question:
My baby occasionally has difficulty breathing, which has been going on for about a month. However, this happens every few days, similar to asthma. At night, he also coughs. What are the symptoms of asthma in infants? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the manifestations of pediatric asthma vary with age. Asthma may be episodic, occurring only once every few months, or it may involve almost daily wheezing, or it may only manifest as nighttime coughing. If asthma is not treated, repeated attacks can worsen into chronic airway hyperresponsiveness, making treatment more difficult. Therefore, early detection and early treatment are crucial. Pediatric asthma is not an incurable condition, and there is no need to be frightened by it. Currently, there are many medications available to control asthma.
