Question
In July 2011, my throat felt very sore. The elderly said it was no big deal and that drinking more water would suffice. By September, after spending half a month at kindergarten, I had a cold with a fever. One doctor said it was a fever, another said it was bronchitis. After treating it for over a month, there was no improvement. Later, when I went to a larger hospital, the doctor said it was bronchial asthma. Now, every time I catch a cold and my throat becomes inflamed, after two days, there is an enormous amount of phlegm, my throat makes a whistling sound, and asthma attacks occur.
Answer
Hello, the asthma you described generally requires anti-infection, bronchodilation, expectoration, and cough relief treatment. You can take oral theophylline sustained-release tablets, amoxicillin potassium clavulanate, terbutaline, and a small dose of prednisone. Combine this with ultrasonic nebulization and traditional Chinese medicine Xiao Qinglong decoction and Mahuang decoction. Avoid spicy, cold, greasy foods. Strengthen physical exercise, prevent colds, and identify the causes of pediatric respiratory system issues. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric respiratory disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment. Also, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression and cultivate good hygiene habits. Parents should be cautious not to let their children develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
