Question
What complications can accompany a child with asthma?
Answer
If pediatric asthma is not treated promptly, it may lead to complications such as emphysema, pneumothorax, sudden death, pulmonary edema, arrhythmia, mediastinal emphysema, atelectasis, pulmonary hypertension, spontaneous pneumothorax, and more. When a child exhibits symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment and affecting health. Children have weaker resistance and are more prone to illness. Parents should not be overly anxious and should take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment, avoiding self-medication.
