Patient's question:
The child has been coughing ever since the last case of pneumonia, with a lot of phlegm that is particularly thick. Sometimes it gets stuck in the throat, making it feel like they can't breathe properly. The hospital examination revealed a condition called bronchial asthma. I would like to ask what are the hazards of getting bronchial asthma?Doctor's answer:
Bronchial asthma is an allergic disease. It is an allergen-induced hypersensitive state, related to the underdevelopment of children's autoimmune system. Without active control, it cannot heal until adulthood. It is best to persist in using inhalers until medication is stopped after more than a year. As the child's autoimmune system matures and improves, the body's hypersensitivity state is relieved. As long as active early treatment is effective, there is hope that it will not recur in adulthood.
