Question
What could be the cause if a child has persistent wheezing and shortness of breath with a bluish tint around the eyes? How can it be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
The child may have asthma, a chronic respiratory condition that causes difficulty breathing and wheezing. Symptoms can vary from person to person and may worsen in certain situations, such as during a cold, exposure to allergens, or exercise. It is recommended to take the child to a doctor for a thorough examination and diagnosis. Treatment for asthma may include medication, avoidance of triggers, and self-management. In addition, some home remedies can be used to alleviate symptoms, such as using nasal drops to soften and remove nasal mucus.
