Is child asthma serious?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Is pediatric asthma severe?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pediatric asthma is relatively serious. During acute relapse, it can lead to the child experiencing breathing difficulties again, and in severe cases, it may cause recurrent breathing difficulties. Asthma is generally difficult to cure, and children are prone to asthma relapses when they catch a cold or come into contact with allergens. It is important to enhance the child's immunity, try to prevent them from catching colds, and avoid exposure to allergens to prevent major asthma attacks.
