Patient's question:
Recently, my child got sick and kept coughing. I quickly gave them some cold medicine, thinking they had a cold. However, after taking it, there was no improvement, and later I found out they had pediatric bronchial asthma. How can pediatric bronchial asthma be prevented better?Doctor's answer:
Children's bronchial asthma is related to genetics, the environment (such as dust mites, pollen, bacteria, ammonia), overeating, colds, and exposure to cold wind. It is important to dress warmly to avoid worsening the condition. In terms of diet, it should be light and avoid eating fish, shrimp, crabs, eggs, milk, etc. Drink plenty of plain water and avoid strenuous exercise. Intravenous fluid infusion may be necessary if needed.Recommendations:
1. Avoid exposing children to irritants such as secondhand smoke, pollen, small animals, or carpet-like items.
2. Drink more water to avoid colds. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
