Question

The child has been suffering from coughing and difficulty breathing recently, and is already taking medication, but the symptoms have not improved. After a hospital check-up, it was found that the child has bronchial asthma. We would like to know about the daily care methods for children with bronchial asthma.

Answer

For the daily care of pediatric bronchial asthma, consider the following points:

  1. Avoid cold weather during the cold season and keep warm.
  2. In summer, avoid direct wind from air conditioning and fans, and adjust clothing appropriately.
  3. Avoid contact with allergens and irritants, such as pollen, dust, mites, etc.
  4. Avoid wearing synthetic silk products, clothing with fur, and exposure to cat and dog dander, as these may trigger acute asthma attacks.
  5. Maintain a balanced diet, consume more foods that benefit the spleen, kidneys, and lungs, and participate in sports to enhance immunity, especially outdoor activities. Please note that the above suggestions are just for reference. The specific care methods should be adjusted according to the child’s condition and the doctor’s advice.
