Question
Recently, a child has been experiencing severe coughing, worse at night, accompanied by a hoarse throat sound, and occasionally difficulty breathing during coughing. The hospital diagnosis was asthma of the bronchus. How should pediatric asthma of the bronchus be handled?
Answer
For children, asthma of the bronchus may be due to weaker adaptability and decreased resistance. Upper respiratory tract infections may exacerbate this condition. Recommended measures include maintaining an appropriate external environment temperature, combining oral cooling and detoxification, lung clearing and expectorant medications with bronchodilator treatments. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm and increasing fluid intake to help improve symptoms. Avoid going out, and it is suggested to identify allergens and try to avoid contact with them in daily life.
