Question
Lately, I’ve been experiencing severe colds, coughs, a hoarse throat, and increased wheezing. A check-up revealed bronchial asthma. I want to know how to adjust the diet for children with bronchial asthma?
Answer
Avoid contact with allergens and irritant gases, smoke, and fumes, do not smoke, and avoid eating foods that produce gas easily such as carrots and rice, and stay away from foods that may trigger asthma like fish and shrimp. Avoid stimulating food such as overly spicy, sour, or salty. Increase intake of iron and vitamin C, as well as protein-rich foods to boost immunity and reduce asthma attacks. Both proactive prevention and treatment are equally important. It is recommended to take more preventive measures to reduce the risk of asthma attacks and to work with doctors to use medication to avoid the deterioration of the condition.
