Question

My child is four years old and always coughs during colds, with heavy breathing sounds, weak immunity, and frequent colds. The latest cold led to a severe asthma attack, with Western medicine treatment proving ineffective. I would like to inquire about traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods for pediatric asthma.

Answer

Asthma has various causes, and frequent colds may be one of the triggers. Both Western and traditional Chinese medicine can treat asthma, with Western medicine showing quicker results, while traditional Chinese medicine focuses on opsonize (regulating the body’s balance), requiring long-term persistence. It is recommended to keep warm during treatment, avoid allergens, and pay attention to dietary health.
