Patient's question:
My child is very frail and often catches colds. Whenever they catch a cold, they develop bronchitis, coughing and wheezing severely. They also don't have a good appetite and turn their little face bright red from being stifled. The doctor said it's childhood bronchial asthma.Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Hello, since the pathological basis of asthma is chronic non-specific inflammation, controlling chronic airway inflammation is the basic treatment for asthma and plays an important role in achieving long-term ideal control. Commonly used medications include inhaled corticosteroids and leukotriene receptor antagonists. Some new drugs, such as leukotriene modifiers, long-acting β2 agonists, and controlled-release theophylline, also have certain anti-inflammatory effects.
