Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, but my child has been coughing badly, especially at night. The coughing makes it hard for him to breathe. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's pediatric bronchial asthma. I'd like to ask, how is it caused?Doctor's answer:
Hello, when a tumor lesion occurs in the trachea or main bronchus, due to obstruction of the large airway, patients may experience dyspnea, wheezing, and other symptoms. However, their response to bronchodilators is poor. Chest CT, pulmonary function tests, and bronchoscopy can provide relevant diagnostic evidence. I have seen similar cases before, which were misdiagnosed as asthma for a long time. The use of asthma medications was ineffective, delaying the best treatment opportunity for the disease.
