Question
Recently, a child has been experiencing discomfort and has developed increasingly severe coughing symptoms after catching a cold. What are the most effective treatment methods for pediatric asthmatic bronchitis?
Answer
Pediatric asthmatic bronchitis is an allergic disease, and its main treatment measures include controlling allergic reactions, alleviating asthma symptoms, and possibly employing desensitization therapy. However, clinical effectiveness still needs improvement. It is recommended that asthma patients maintain good indoor air circulation and dryness, choose light fluid foods in their diet, especially during asthma attacks, and ensure adequate hydration to prevent dehydration leading to thick sputum and difficult coughing. Respiratory obstruction can exacerbate asthma symptoms, so it should be avoided. For infants and young children, particular attention should be paid to the intake of foreign proteins, and consumption of gas-producing or hard-to-digest foods should be minimized.
