Patient's question:
My child was diagnosed with bronchial asthma two years ago. In recent years, he has been taking medication regularly and has been very careful with his diet and lifestyle. However, although his symptoms have improved, is it possible to effectively treat pediatric bronchial asthma?Doctor's answer:
Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammation of the airways involving mast cells, eosinophils, and lymphocytes, leading to reversible airway obstruction. Typical symptoms include cough, chest tightness, wheezing, and difficulty breathing, which often recur frequently. Children with severe illness may breathe while sitting, appear restless, sweaty, and pale. The lungs are filled with wheezing.Advice: The focus of treatment during an attack is anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator therapy to quickly relieve symptoms. Common medications include bronchodilators and adrenal corticosteroids. Inhalation therapy is the preferred treatment method.
