What is childhood asthma?

Patient's question:

My son is 15 months old. A few months ago, I noticed that he gets a bit breathless when he's more active, but he never coughs. I'd like to ask what could be the reason for this.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the cause of asthma is relatively complex. Most believe it is a polygenic genetic disease influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. In treatment, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine methods is primarily adopted, using drugs such as anticholinergic medications, theophylline, and bromhexine for treatment. Alternatively, aerosol inhalation therapy with drugs like ipratropium bromide solution can help alleviate symptoms. It is important to stay away from allergens, maintain cleanliness in daily life and work, and actively exercise while strengthening nutritional regulation.
