Question
A 4-and-a-half-year-old child always experiences yellow phlegm, coughing, and wheezing after a cold. How can these symptoms be alleviated?
Answer
Based on past treatment experiences, the child may exhibit wheezing symptoms after every cold, which could be indicative of asthma. Asthma is related to allergic body, airway hyperreactivity, airway inflammation, and the immune system. Current treatment methods can only control symptoms and cannot cure the condition. It is recommended to use anti-allergic medications and drugs to reduce airway hyperreactivity long-term, such as inhaled corticosteroids or oral medications. I hope this information is helpful to you, and I wish your child a speedy recovery.
