Question
Dear team, my son is 6 years old, and he has recently been experiencing asthma along with coughing. I am very worried. How should asthma be treated?
Answer
At present, there are no particularly effective treatment methods for asthma in China, and the goal is mainly to control symptoms and alleviate the patient’s suffering as much as possible. Long-term anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary, and the commonly prescribed medication is inhaled corticosteroids. Patients should also be cautious to avoid triggers that can cause asthma and always carry asthma relief medication. Additionally, patients should maintain a balanced diet, engage in regular aerobic exercise to strengthen their bodies, and maintain a positive mood to enhance their constitution. Good living habits can help prevent diseases.
