Patient's question:
Hello, my child is already three years old. Recently, he often makes a few sounds while sleeping, a bit like wheezing. During the day, he's better, but sometimes he still has difficulty breathing. I even wanted to help him breathe. Later, the hospital diagnosed it as bronchial asthma. Hello doctor, what should I pay attention to when my child has bronchial asthma?Doctor's answer:
Children with bronchial asthma may need to use certain medications to effectively suppress the recurrence of asthma and alleviate symptoms when necessary. Common medications include corticosteroids, theophylline derivatives, and anticholinergic drugs, among others.Additionally, patients with bronchial asthma should follow a diet that is light, easy to digest, high in protein, and provides sufficient calories in their daily lives. They can consume pungent and cooling foods to quickly dispel wind pathogens, clear heat, detoxify, and cleanse the lungs, such as fruits like chrysanthemum and olive. Avoid consuming pungent and hot foods, such as scallions, ginger, chili peppers, and mustard greens, as well as fruits like longan meat, jujubes, and apricots. Also, avoid fatty, greasy, and irritating foods, such as pepper and fresh ginger. Additionally, avoid foods that may trigger asthma attacks due to foreign protein, such as fish.
