Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is 15 years old this year. Recently, I heard from my child that his classmate has been sick for several days and hasn't come to school. Specifically, he has asthma. I'm very worried because the children study together every day. Will my child also be infected? So I want to know if asthma is contagious?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your child's classmate's current symptoms are asthma. Asthma is an allergic respiratory disease related to allergens and is not contagious, so there is no need to worry. For the treatment of asthma, the following suggestions are recommended:1. Avoid contact with allergens.
2. If necessary, coordinate with the use of inhalation therapy.
3. Use bronchodilators for treatment, such as not exposing them to irritating odors in their presence.
