Question

A one-week-old baby is weak, often suffering from colds that lead to bronchitis, coughing, and asthma. Sometimes, their face turns purple-red, and they have a loss of appetite and weight loss. What causes pediatric asthma?

Answer

Bronchial asthma in children is mainly caused by exposure to allergens, leading to an increase in allergic secretions, which then cause symptoms such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, and coughing. This condition is more common in children with allergic constitutions, and it is recommended to use budesonide aerosol inhalers (such as inhalers) for prevention and treatment. Experts believe that if infants show allergic reactions, budesonide aerosol can be used for prevention and treatment. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to visit a professional children’s hospital for consultation.
