Patient's question:
My friend's child has asthma, and it has been a long time. They have been undergoing treatment, but the results have not been very good. Later, someone said that inhaled steroids are very effective for prevention, but they have been too afraid to try it, fearing something might go wrong. They want to hear the opinions of experts.Doctor's answer:
It is a special type of asthma characterized solely by chronic cough. Its pathogenesis is complex, with diverse symptoms and significant harm. Currently, there are many treatment methods, and patients need to approach them with caution. Pediatric asthma can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine methods such as reinforcing the body's fundamental substances, strengthening the spleen and kidneys, stopping cough and relieving wheezing, and regulating qi and resolving phlegm. Gradually, the use of hormones can be reduced until it is completely stopped. The purpose of this invention is to reinforce the body, dispel pathogens, strengthen the body, enhance disease resistance, and fundamentally address the condition to prevent recurrence.
