Patient's question:
Cough and wheezing, severe coughing at night, with wheezing. What medications are available to treat pediatric bronchial asthma?Doctor's answer:
Principles of Asthma Treatment: During acute attacks, multiple measures are taken to relieve bronchospasm, improve lung ventilation, and control infections.Recommendations:
1. For the first attack, it is best to go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and identification of the cause.
2. Closely monitor the premonitory symptoms during the attack.
3. If coughing is weak, it can help the child expel phlegm by gently patting the back. Pat from the edges toward the center, then from the bottom up, while gently encouraging the child to cough out the phlegm.
4. The diet should consist of light, easily digestible semi-liquid or soft foods. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to facilitate bowel movements, avoid irritating foods and cold drinks, and reduce triggering factors. Encourage children to drink more water to replenish fluid loss. If the above care fails, seek medical treatment at the hospital.
