Patient's question:
My friend's son often had colds when he was young. Every time he had a cold, it took a long time to recover. Later, it was found that he had childhood asthma. In the past few days, he has caught a cold again. My friend doesn't want her child to play with him, afraid of getting infected. But my friend said asthma is not contagious. Hello, does childhood asthma spread?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pediatric asthma is a very common condition in early childhood, characterized by recurrent coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. This condition is not infectious, but it may worsen during colds and improve afterward. Children with asthma who do not pay attention to keeping warm often experience frequent colds. During colds, there is usually an infectious effect, so it is recommended to stay away from colds appropriately.
