Patient's question:
My nephew has bronchial asthma, coughing with phlegm, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. I want to take care of him through diet, but I'm afraid it might worsen his condition. Hello, what should children with bronchial asthma eat more of in terms of home care?Doctor's answer:
Adopt many dietary ingredients to practice tonification, such as boiling soup with many lung-moistening pears and lily bulbs, which can effectively alleviate symptoms of lung asthma. It is also appropriate to use lotus seeds, Chinese yam, and Job's tears to cook porridge, which can also provide good tonifying effects. Try to minimize the consumption of cold, spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. If the patient undergoes an allergen test and is allergic to specific foods, it is necessary to avoid consuming these foods. The main cause of asthma is still related to many allergens. Avoiding contact with allergens as much as possible is the best method for preventing pediatric bronchial asthma.
