Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. What are the symptoms of pediatric asthma?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children often exhibit certain upper respiratory allergy symptoms 1 to 2 days before an asthma attack, primarily including symptoms such as itchy nose, chills, clear nasal discharge, and nose rubbing. These symptoms gradually progress to coughing and wheezing. Some children may develop the condition suddenly, often starting with spasmodic coughing in the morning and developing wheezing and breathing difficulties by noon. Currently, the incidence of asthma in infants and young children is relatively high, and there may be a possibility of intergenerational inheritance. Continued deterioration of air quality is also one of the main factors contributing to infant and young child asthma. With active treatment, most children generally improve as they grow older.
