Patient's question:
Recently, I caught a cold and have been coughing badly. I've been feeling very low on energy, and my throat has been making noises, with some difficulty in breathing. My mom took me to the hospital for a check-up, and the result was bronchial asthma. I want to know how to adjust the diet for children with bronchial asthma on a daily basis?Doctor's answer:
Patients with bronchial asthma should avoid exposure to allergens, irritant gases, smoke, and other substances. Avoid smoking environments, consuming gas-producing foods such as radishes and rice, and eating foods that may trigger asthma, such as fish and shrimp. Avoid foods that are too spicy, too sour, or too salty. Avoid colds and upper respiratory infections, as well as strenuous exercise and emotional excitement. When going outdoors, pay attention to staying warm. Typically, iron, vitamin C, and protein-rich foods can be consumed to boost the immune system and reduce asthma attacks.For patients with bronchial asthma, active prevention and treatment are equally important. Therefore, it is recommended to focus more on prevention to reduce the frequency of asthma attacks and actively cooperate with doctors to take medication to avoid worsening the condition.
