Patient's question:
The baby has recently caught a cold and is also experiencing fever and difficulty breathing, with a pale complexion. The doctor said it's asthma. Hello, how is pediatric asthma treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of mild asthma can involve inhaling β2 agonists as needed, with oral β2 agonist extended-release tablets when inhaled effects are not sufficient. Alternatively, oral low-dose extended-release theophylline can be taken. Daily timed inhalation of corticosteroids is recommended. For nocturnal asthma, long-acting β2 agonists or anticholinergic drugs can be added. Daily timed inhalation of high-dose corticosteroids (600 μg/day) is necessary. Oral corticosteroids may be administered when needed.For cough and asthma, eating many pears is considered the best for clearing the lungs. Cooking pears with rock sugar and honey together can yield even better effects.
