Question
My child is in first grade and is usually very lively. Recently, after recovering from a cold, he has been breathing heavily. I thought it was a Sequelae of the cold, so I gave him some anti-inflammatory medication, but it didn’t improve. Yesterday, when I took him to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said he has asthma.
Answer
Hello, asthma in children may be influenced by factors such as emotions, nerves, and endocrine issues, or it could be triggered by exposure to allergens or the consumption of foods that easily cause allergies. Based on your child’s condition, it seems likely that his asthma was triggered by the cold. It is advisable to take your child to see a doctor promptly and not miss the best opportunity for treatment. There are many triggers for asthma, and if your child is diagnosed with asthma, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment and ensure that the child is relieved of stress, maintains good hygiene habits. The child should eat a balanced diet and avoid consuming stimulating and cold foods.
