Patient's question:
From early March, I had a runny nose and mild cough, followed by severe coughing and shortness of breath, with intense coughing around 6 a.m. X-rays confirmed bronchitis in children, and later it was diagnosed as asthma in children. Is it possible to get infected with asthma during asthma inhalation? How to treat bronchial asthma in children well?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,Children's asthma, medically known as asthmatic bronchitis, is a relatively common disease during childhood. According to surveys in some parts of China, the prevalence rate among children is 0.5%-2%. Asthma can occur at any age, but the majority of patients begin to show symptoms before the age of 5, with 50% of pediatric patients experiencing onset before the age of 3.
