Question

A child was diagnosed with asthma two years ago. After several years of medication treatment and lifestyle adjustments, symptoms have improved but there is no sign of complete recovery. Can pediatric asthma be cured?

Answer

Pediatric asthma often manifests clinically as recurrent reversible wheezing, coughing attacks, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. For treatment, it is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine for differentiation and treatment. Over-reliance on Western medicine for treating colds may lead to a decline in the child’s physique. The root cause of the disease lies in lung Qi stagnation. Once the cold has healed, focus should be placed on the fundamental treatment of the symptoms. In addition, encourage children to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits to strengthen their constitution and reduce the chance of recurrence. In summary, pediatric asthma can be treated, but it requires continuous medical care and lifestyle adjustments.
