Question
My daughter often coughs, and since I have asthma, I’m worried that she might inherit pediatric asthma. When does pediatric asthma usually occur?
Answer
Pediatric asthma is a chronic inflammatory response involving mast cells, eosinophils, and lymphocytes, leading to reversible airway obstruction and is related to genetics. Infants are often of a special constitution, and asthma commonly occurs at night and after exercise. It is recommended to use bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid aerosols for treatment, along with long-term and standardized treatment. Additionally, it is suggested to identify allergens, wear masks when outdoors, regularly visit the doctor, and determine an active treatment approach.
