Question
My child has been sick recently, constantly coughing. I quickly gave the child some cold medicine, thinking the child had a cold. However, after taking it, there was no relief, and I later found out that it was pediatric asthma of the bronchi. How can one effectively prevent pediatric asthma of the bronchi?
Answer
Pediatric asthma of the bronchi is associated with genetics, environment (such as dust mites, pollen, bacteria, ammonia), overeating, colds, and exposure to wind and cold. Pay attention to dressing warmly to avoid exacerbating the condition. In terms of diet, avoid eating fish, shrimp, crab, eggs, milk, and other foods. Drink plenty of plain water and avoid severe exercise. Intravenous fluid replacement may be necessary if required. It is recommended to avoid exposing children to potential triggers such as secondhand smoke, fire, pollen, small animals, or carpet-like items that may cause attacks. Additionally, drink plenty of water, avoid colds, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to help prevent pediatric asthma of the bronchi.
