Question

Our infant, just a few months old, is breathing with a whistling sound. The doctor has diagnosed it as severe bronchial asthma. How should we properly handle the situation?

Answer

Bronchial asthma is often caused by bacteria, and timely treatment is crucial. Medication is the first line of treatment, while also reinforcing care to ensure adequate rest and nutrition intake, actively controlling infections, and preventing complications. The effectiveness of the treatment is generally good. Daily suggestions include focusing on the infant’s diet, with an emphasis on consuming more fruits and vegetables.
