Question
There are parents who are concerned about their children having long-term asthma with poor treatment outcomes. They have heard that hormonal inhalation preventive treatment is effective but worry about potential side effects and hope to obtain expert opinions.
Answer
Pediatric asthma is a special type of asthma, primarily characterized by chronic cough, with a complex pathogenesis, diverse symptoms, and significant impact on health. Currently, there are various treatment methods available, and patients should choose carefully. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for pediatric asthma, such as reinforcing the body’s resistance, spleen and kidney tonification, cough relief, and Qi regulation to resolve phlegm, can gradually reduce the use of hormones until discontinuation. This approach aims to reinforce the body’s resistance, enhance physical health, improve disease resistance, and fundamentally solve the problem to prevent recurrence.
