Patient's question:
The child has suffered from asthma since they were over one year old. They also easily catch colds and fever, and have been taking oral medication for prevention, but it hasn't improved. The condition worsens in winter. How can we prevent and care for pediatric asthma? Are there any good medications to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric asthma requires prevention based on the cause of the disease. If the child is prone to frequent colds and fever, the first consideration should be chronic respiratory infections and impaired immune function. In treatment, it is essential to identify the infectious cause. If it is a chronic bacterial infection, anti-infection therapy is necessary. At the same time, in daily life, avoid frequent visits to crowded places, ensure proper ventilation by opening windows, maintain a relatively stable temperature around the child, and it is recommended to check the endocrine hormone levels to speculate on how to split the immune deficiency caused by endocrine disorders.
