Question

How to treat and prevent variant asthma?

Answer

The treatment for variant asthma involves avoiding allergens, maintaining a clean environment, proper dietary management, and using medication to control symptoms. Patients and parents should carefully observe and record substances that may trigger asthma and try to avoid re-exposure. This may include allergens such as pollen, dust mites, fungi, and animal dander. Regular cleaning of the home, changing bed linens, avoiding excessive toys, and reducing the use of carpets should be practiced. For children with a history of allergies, it is advisable to avoid consuming foods that may cause allergic reactions, such as seafood and high-protein foods. Additionally, parents should collaborate with doctors to develop an appropriate medication treatment plan and administer medication promptly when symptoms appear. Through these comprehensive measures, variant asthma can be effectively controlled, and the frequency of acute attacks can be reduced.
