Question

How to treat pediatric asthma?

Answer

Treatment for mild asthma can be achieved through the on-demand inhalation of β2-agonists. If the effect is not satisfactory, oral β2-agonist controlled-release tablets can be taken. Oral controlled-release dextrose can also be considered. It is recommended to inhale corticosteroids regularly daily. If asthma attacks occur at night, consider using long-acting β2-agonists or adding anticholinergic drugs. For cases requiring more treatment, a daily regular inhalation of high-dose corticosteroids (600μg/day) can be administered, and oral corticosteroids can be taken as necessary. Additionally, eating many pears can help clear the lungs, and the combination with rock sugar and honey while boiling is even better.
