Can three episodes of asthma in children stabilize asthma?

Patient's question:

Can three episodes of wheezing in children stabilize the condition of asthma? A few days ago, the child initially had a cold, which then led to coughing. I initially thought it was tonsillitis, but now I've noticed that the child is wheezing severely. Adults say that frequent wheezing in children indicates asthma.

Doctor's answer:

If children experience respiratory infections again, asthma may also reoccur. It is recommended to seek timely treatment. Initially, bronchodilator medications can be used. If there is bacterial infection at the second level of neurons, anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporin can be considered. During treatment, if asthma is severe, corticosteroid medications may be needed to alleviate symptoms. In daily life, a light diet should also be maintained for the child.
