Patient's question:
The children in my sister's family have been feeling unwell recently. A few days ago, they had a cold and just finished their IV drip treatment to recover. Lately, they've developed a cough that's getting worse and worse. What treatment is the most effective?Doctor's answer:
Your sister's children are always in poor health, recently suffering from colds and coughs. The cough may now be caused by allergic asthma. It is important to pay attention to a light diet.Hello! Asthma is an allergic disease. Currently, the main treatment measures are to control allergies and relieve asthma symptoms, and desensitization therapy is also used. However, clinical outcomes remain unsatisfactory. Asthma patients should frequently open windows to maintain air circulation and dryness. Liquids with a light diet should be added to the diet, especially during asthma attacks when water intake increases. It is important to replenish fluids to avoid dehydration, thick sputum, and difficulty coughing. Airway obstruction can worsen asthma. Infants and young children should be cautious about external proteins. They should eat less gas-producing or difficult-to-digest foods.
