Question
After treatment for children’s bronchial asthma, why do attacks recur shortly thereafter? The child experienced airway wheezing at night and persistent coughing during the day just 15 days after hospital treatment. They have been using budesonide inhaler for half a year, but there has been no improvement in their condition. Parents are urgently seeking treatment advice from traditional Chinese medicine experts.
Answer
Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways involving eosinophils and mast cells. Treatment focuses on eliminating triggers, maintaining a healthy home environment, and using medications like theophylline orally or by injection. Corticosteroids are recommended for inflammation based on severity, and antibiotics may be needed for infections. Oxygen supplementation may also be necessary when required to manage symptoms effectively.
