Question
A 5-week-old boy has been continuously struggling with heavy breathing for a week, and last night, it was so severe that it affected his ability to sleep.
Answer
The core treatment for pediatric asthma involves corticosteroid therapy, typically administered via inhalation. In severe cases, oral or intravenous administration may be necessary, but it is not recommended to use high doses for a prolonged period. Additionally, bronchodilators like Salbutamol can be used to quickly relieve bronchospasm. Leukotriene inhibitors are also an option for treatment.
