Question

How can pediatric asthma be effectively treated, and are there side effects to long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids?

Answer

For pediatric asthma, especially in cases that occur only once every three years, consider integrating traditional Chinese medicine and herbs during the remission period for differential treatment. This can help prevent the recurrence of the condition and even achieve a curative effect. Particularly, acupuncture therapy using point-pressure plasters shows significant efficacy in asthma. Additionally, parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet, avoid picky eating, and accompany good hygiene habits and stress-reduction measures to help children better manage asthma.
