Question
My child has asthma, and I would like to learn some prevention knowledge about this condition.
Answer
Asthma is primarily caused by airway allergic inflammation due to infection, cold air, or allergens. Children may experience coughing and difficulty breathing. It is advised to avoid contact with allergens and to not consume cold foods or beverages. In case of an asthma attack, immediate medical attention should be sought. During the alleviate period, it is best to use corticosteroid medications long-term to control the condition. The diet should be light, avoiding fatty foods. Pay attention to staying warm and avoiding both colds and overheating. Eat in small portions, avoid overeating, and do not consume salty, sweet, stimulating food, or gas-producing foods. Additionally, smoking and drinking are prohibited.
