Patient's question:
My child had a cold two days ago and took some cold medicine, which somewhat relieved the symptoms of runny nose. However, the coughing has not improved. Moreover, it is clearly audible that my child has a feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath. Sometimes they breathe very heavily, and their face turns bright red. It makes my heart ache to see them like this. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was pediatric bronchial asthma.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the general dietary principles for children with bronchial asthma are light, easy to digest, and nutritionally balanced. You can eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and eat less sweet, salty, excessively cold or hot foods, especially spicy, fried, and fatty products. Try to avoid foods with excessive additives and excessive seasonings. For children with weaker bronchial asthma, when the condition is stable, necessary dietary supplements should be provided.
