Question
I recently found out at the hospital that my child has allergic asthma. How should it be treated? Are there any good methods?
Answer
Allergic asthma is one of the most severe forms of childhood allergic diseases, affecting about 80% of children before the age of 5. Treatment can include immunotherapy, which is also known as desensitization therapy. Treatment is best initiated between the ages of 5 to 7, and with correct treatment, most children’s conditions can be controlled, and even cured. Dust mites are the leading allergen responsible for asthma. In addition to inhaled allergens triggering asthma, other factors such as infections and environmental factors can worsen asthma attacks. Observing allergens daily can help prevent asthma.
