Question
What should be taken into account when dealing with pediatric asthma?
Answer
Children with asthma may need medication to effectively suppress asthma attacks and alleviate symptoms. Common medications include corticosteroids, aminophylline, and anticholinergic drugs. In daily diet, it is recommended to focus on light, easy-to-digest, high-protein, and sufficient-calorie foods. Additionally, spicy and cool foods can be consumed to clear heat, detoxify, and nourish the lungs. At the same time, it is advisable to avoid spicy and greasy foods as well as foods containing allergens that may trigger asthma attacks. When it comes to bowel movements, it is best to avoid cold and irritating foods and be cautious about avoiding environmental factors that may induce asthma.
