Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At the end of last year, he had bronchitis with asthma twice. In May of this year, he developed bronchial asthma again due to coughing and was hospitalized for treatment for a week before being discharged. However, two days later, he started coughing again, and it has been intermittent ever since. I don't know how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Hello! First of all, I wish your child a speedy recovery! I’d like to discuss the issue of "asthma" with you. Asthma is caused by allergic reactions, leading to bronchial spasm, mucosal edema, and increased secretions. Clinically, it is characterized by episodic dyspnea, cough, sputum production, and wheezing. Dietary therapy can enhance the constitution of patients with bronchial asthma and reduce or prevent asthma attacks."Is there any medicine without side effects," so here are a few successful dietary remedies for curing "asthma":
1) Take one black-bone chicken, slaughter and clean it, slice 150 grams of ginger, and add 10 grams of loofah fibers into the chicken’s cavity. Tie it with thread, season with oil, salt, and other condiments, and stew the soup. Consume the chicken and soup over three days (children should take it over five days). For mild cases, one chicken is sufficient; for severe cases, three chickens are needed. Avoid spicy food, leeks, and mutton.
2) Dry earthworms (250 grams) are fried until yellow, then ground into powder. Take 10 grams (about half a tablespoon) with sugar water twice a day. The condition will be cured after completion. Avoid spicy foods.
3) Take 500 grams of purple-skinned garlic, peel and clean it, then mix it with 200 grams of rock sugar in a clean, oil-free sand pot. Add water until it slightly covers the garlic. Boil the water and simmer it over low heat until it becomes porridge-like. After cooling, take one tablespoon in the morning and evening. Continue taking it until recovery.
4) Mix 500 grams of tofu, 60 grams of malt sugar, and one cup of raw radish juice, then cook it and divide it into two servings per day. This treats bronchial asthma.
5) Take 100 grams of fresh sheep bile and 250 grams of honey, mix them, and steam in a pot for two hours. Take one tablespoon in the morning and evening. Alternatively, dry sheep bile, grind it into powder, and take 1 gram three times a day. This treats asthma.
6) Take 250 grams of pig’s lung, 12 grams of sweet almonds, and two spoons of ginger juice. Clean the pig’s lung, cut it into pieces, and clean the sweet almonds. Cook the lung and almonds in an aluminum pot with water. Add ginger juice and a little salt when almost cooked. Eat the lung and drink the soup. This warms the lungs, relieves cough, and reduces phlegm. It is suitable for elderly patients with chronic bronchitis, cold deficiency asthma, white phlegm, and constipation.
