Patient's question:
I suspect that my grandson may have accidentally ingested a small amount of acidic glass cement two days ago. Starting at 8 PM yesterday, he began wheezing, and I wonder if it's related. The local doctor said it might be allergic wheezing, which is quite common now. I still suspect that my grandson may have accidentally ingested a small amount of acidic glass cement two days ago, and he has been wheezing from 8 PM yesterday until now.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. Treatment primarily involves a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine methods, using drugs such as anticholinergic medications, theophylline, and bromhexine for treatment. Alternatively, nebulized inhalation therapy with drugs like ipratropium bromide solution can help alleviate symptoms. It is important to avoid allergens, maintain cleanliness in daily life, exercise regularly, and improve nutrition.
