Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. My baby is 4 years old this year. When he was 2, he was diagnosed with childhood bronchial asthma. Whenever he catches a cold, it recurs. It feels quite severe sometimes, and even breathing can be difficult. As a parent, watching him like this is very heartbreaking. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Children with asthma should avoid seafood and other allergenic foods such as shrimp, crabs, and fish. They should consume more foods that nourish the lungs, strengthen the spleen, and tonify the kidneys, such as almonds, walnuts, (luóhàn guǒ), tofu, goji berries, Poria, animal lungs, spleen, and pancreas. They should also eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, such as fresh cabbage, small cabbage, radishes, tomatoes, yam, lotus seeds, oranges, egg yolks, and cream.
