Question
Recently, some parents have reported that their children often experience difficulty breathing, dizziness, frequent coughing with phlegm, and abnormal sounds in the throat when breathing while at kindergarten, and have been diagnosed with bronchial asthma by doctors.
Answer
Although bronchial asthma cannot be cured permanently, it can be effectively controlled through standardized treatment that primarily focuses on inhibiting inflammation. Studies show that with the use of fluticasone/salmeterol fixed-dose combination therapy and maintenance treatment, the asthma control rate approaches 80%. Although the cost of controlling asthma may be high from the perspective of patients and society, incorrect treatment methods can bring about a higher cost. It is recommended that parents follow medical instructions and conduct appropriate treatment to maintain their child’s health.
