Question
Recently, we have noticed that our child frequently experiences coughing and difficulty breathing. The hospital has diagnosed it as pediatric asthma of the bronchus. What tests are required for this condition?
Answer
For the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric asthma of the bronchus, a series of examinations are typically required, including but not limited to: improved eosinophil count, blood routine examination, chest X-ray, lung function tests, skin allergy testing, and blood gas analysis. In addition, other relevant laboratory tests may also be included. Pediatric asthma of the bronchus is a common respiratory disease, and its causes may be related to environmental factors, genetic factors, and high reactivity of the respiratory tract. It is recommended to pay special attention to the results of lung function tests and identify which allergens the child is sensitive to during the examination, in order to develop a more precise treatment plan.
