Question
My child has been disobedient recently, crying and fussing all the time. We’ve taken them to the hospital and they couldn’t find any issues. Can a child’s asthma get better without treatment?
Answer
The main characteristics of pediatric asthma are sudden onset wheezing, increased breathing rate, and difficulty breathing, which may be accompanied by coughing. Initially, the cough is usually dry, and when the attack subsides, purulent white mucous sputum may be coughed up, possibly related to factors such as colds, weather changes, and excessive exercise. As children grow older, symptoms may improve. However, if a child is diagnosed with pediatric bronchial asthma, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment and pay attention to adjusting their lifestyle and dietary habits.
