Patient's question:
The child has been coughing non-stop recently and often experiences shortness of breath. They have been taking medication for treatment, but the symptoms have not improved. A hospital check-up revealed bronchial asthma, and they are currently undergoing treatment. I would like to ask how to care for someone with bronchial asthma in daily life.Doctor's answer:
First, the cold seasons of spring and winter should be warm and cold, while summer should avoid direct air conditioning drafts and fan breezes, and add or remove clothes appropriately. It is also recommended to avoid contact with allergens and irritating substances, such as pollen, dust, airborne mites, synthetic fibers on clothes, household fur, and pet dander (from cats and dogs). These are the main causes of acute asthma attacks and dietary issues. Maintain adequate nutrition, choose light and easily digestible foods, and eat more foods that benefit the spleen, kidneys, and lungs. Engage in regular physical exercise to enhance immunity, especially outdoor activities.
