What tests are needed for pediatric bronchial asthma?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Recently these past few days, my child at home, I don't know if it's because the weather changes too much or what, frequently has coughing episodes. Also, there's a feeling like they can't quite catch their breath. Later, when they went to the hospital for a check-up, the results showed they had developed pediatric bronchial asthma.

Doctor's answer:

Childhood bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous disease, related to the child's constitution and also to infections, with a pathological basis of chronic inflammation in small airways. It is primarily characterized by varying degrees of expiratory dyspnea, which may appear after respiratory symptoms or chronic cough.
Advice: Diagnosis requires pulmonary function tests and bronchodilator tests, and allergen tests may be performed when necessary. After diagnosis, systematic treatment is required. Most cases can be controlled with symptoms.
