Patient's question:
Hello, my child has been experiencing a persistent cough for the past few months, and it hasn't improved despite taking many medications prescribed by the doctor. Recently, my child has been having severe shortness of breath and often seems to struggle with breathing. A hospital check-up revealed that my child has bronchial asthma.Doctor's answer:
Hello patient, it is recommended to guide the child not to speak or eat during an asthma attack to prevent worsening the condition. When necessary, promptly go to the hospital for vital signs monitoring and oxygen therapy, or you can also prepare an oxygen bag at home for timely oxygen administration to avoid exacerbating the asthma attack.During recovery, provide light, nutrient-rich, and high-vitamin liquid or semi-liquid diets. Encourage the child to eat fresh vegetables and fruits while avoiding foods that may trigger asthma attacks, such as fish, shrimp, eggs, etc. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Keep the child away from animal fur, pollen, dust, and other allergens. In winter and spring, pay attention to keeping warm. When the child goes out, they must be accompanied by family members and carry asthma-preventive medication with them.
