Question
A 6-year-old boy always feels short of breath, has a history of asthma, is often tired, and has poor health. For the past two months, he has been experiencing shortness of breath and chest tightness.
Answer
Currently, inhaled medications such as Foradil and Serevent are available for controlling asthma in children, with minimal side effects and convenient use. The control of asthma should be based on the specific condition of the patient and appropriate medication should be chosen. After the condition improves, the dosage should be gradually reduced until medication is stopped. There are many causes of respiratory system diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to avoiding their child’s picky eating and maintain a balanced diet.
