How should pediatric bronchial asthma be treated?

Patient's question:

The child has been experiencing unexplained heavy breathing, sometimes with rapid breathing, and at other times with a bluish complexion due to shortness of breath. Later, it was discovered that the child frequently exhibited wheezing similar to asthma, so they took the child to the hospital for examination. The final diagnosis was bronchial asthma. I don’t know how to treat the child’s condition.

Doctor's answer:

Bronchial asthma in children is not uncommon in clinical practice. Currently, the majority of the causes of this disease are related to genetic factors, environmental factors, airway hyperresponsiveness, etc. The main treatment methods for this disease currently are drug control of symptoms. The formulation, adjustment, and reduction or discontinuation of medications should all be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and it is strictly forbidden to make decisions independently, otherwise it may likely lead to the loss of initial treatment effects and the exacerbation of the disease.
