Patient's question:
My daughter often coughs because I have asthma. I'm very worried about whether this disease will be inherited by my child. When does childhood bronchial asthma usually develop?Doctor's answer:
Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory response involving mast cells, eosinophils, and lymphocytes, leading to reversible airway obstruction. It is associated with genetics, and infants often have a special constitution. Asthma is more common at night and after exercise. It is recommended to use bronchodilators and inhaled adrenal glucocorticoid aerosols for treatment, along with long-term, standardized therapy. It is advised to identify allergens for infants, wear masks when going out, visit hospitals for medical care, and determine an active treatment method after the illness.
