Patient's question:
The baby has been frequently having a runny nose since the age of 4, and despite continuous treatment, it hasn't improved. Recently, they have again experienced shortness of breath symptoms. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as asthma. I would like to ask, are there any home remedies that can help treat pediatric asthma?Doctor's answer:
Allergic asthma is a relatively stubborn disease, often occurring in infants and young children. Symptoms of allergic asthma patients include hiccups, runny nose, nasal itching, eye itching, tearing, and other symptoms. Long-term exposure to dust mites, pollen, and other allergens, bacterial or viral infections, and consumption of allergenic foods can all potentially trigger allergic asthma. According to the patient's description, it is recommended that parents take their child to a regular hospital for follow-up treatment, screen for major allergens, and prescribe medication based on the test results. Cough and asthma-relieving drugs can be used for treatment. The diet should be light and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Parents should not take their children to places with pollen for exercise. Proper cold prevention measures should be taken to prevent children from catching colds and triggering attacks.
