Patient's question:
A three-year-old baby frequently coughs, has loud breathing sounds during the day, snorts while napping at night, and sometimes gasps for breath while running. The child's complexion looks poor. Taking the child to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as pediatric bronchial asthma. My friend said this disease is particularly difficult to treat, and I couldn't believe the baby had this condition. What are the symptoms of pediatric bronchial asthma?Doctor's answer:
Children with bronchial asthma are prone to snoring, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, coughing, and other symptoms. This is related to bacteria entering the respiratory tract, allergic attacks causing severe pain in the trachea, and also easily leading to fever, sore throat, and other symptoms. Contact with allergens and catching colds can trigger recurrent attacks. Anti-inflammatory, lung-cleansing, and anti-allergic, asthma-relieving medications can be taken for treatment. During recurrent attacks, asthma inhalers can be used for prevention and treatment, and masks should be worn to prevent catching colds.
