Patient's question:
My child has been coughing frequently lately with a lot of phlegm. He says he sometimes has difficulty breathing and feels weak when walking, as if he has no energy at all and feels very tired. I took him to the hospital, and the doctor said he has developed pediatric bronchitis asthma. What should I do now? How is bronchitis asthma treated? What are the symptoms of bronchitis asthma in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Some infants and young children with colds or coughs may experience wheezing and difficulty breathing, with wheezing sounds in both lungs. Doctors often diagnose them with asthmatic bronchitis. Many parents worry that their children may develop bronchial asthma in the future. In fact, with active and reasonable treatment, most children with asthmatic bronchitis can be completely cured. Therefore, for infants and young children who have had asthmatic bronchitis, proper home care should be provided, and they should be encouraged to participate in outdoor activities.
