Question
What should pediatric bronchial asthma patients pay attention to?
Answer
Pediatric bronchial asthma patients should pay special attention to avoiding triggers that can exacerbate asthma symptoms. In addition to determining the root cause of asthma, it is also important to be aware of factors that may lead to sputum accumulation, as sputum can obstruct airways and worsen asthma symptoms. The key to avoiding these factors lies in identifying and avoiding allergens; it is recommended to conduct allergen testing for children, including food allergies and inhaled allergies. Asthmatic children are more sensitive to cold and dry air, so it is best to avoid these environments. Some asthmatic children may experience worsening symptoms after intense exercise, so it is not advisable to engage in overly strenuous activities, but they still need to engage in moderate aerobic exercises, such as swimming and jogging, to maintain physical health.
