Question
My husband has had allergic asthma since he was young, and after all these years, he has been controlling the condition with medication, but it hasn’t improved much. Now that we want to have a child, I’m a bit worried about the genetic issue. My mom says asthma is hereditary, but my husband doesn’t have congenital asthma.
Answer
Hello, the heredity of allergic asthma is generally related to lifestyle and genes. There is currently no professional judgment that can directly determine whether the child will inherit it. However, there is a certain chance of inheritance, and it’s not a certainty of not inheriting or inheriting. There are many causes of childhood bronchial asthma. If the child is diagnosed with childhood bronchial asthma, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let the child develop the habit of picky eating and should have a balanced diet.
