How to diagnose pediatric asthma

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. How is pediatric asthma diagnosed?

Doctor's answer:

Infants and young children often experience cough symptoms after a cold, and they may also show signs of wheezing, which is highly related to bronchial asthma. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a urinary tract stimulation test for a thorough examination to aid in diagnosis. Oral medications to expand the urinary tract can be used for treatment. Additionally, it is important to closely monitor for the possibility of yellow sputum, which may indicate a bacterial infection.
