Question

How long does it typically take for pediatric asthma patients to receive treatment?

Answer

It is recommended that during asthma attacks, children should not talk or eat to avoid exacerbating symptoms. In emergency situations, immediate hospitalization for vital sign monitoring and oxygen therapy should be sought, or an oxygen bag should be prepared at home for unexpected needs. When symptoms subside, provide nutrient-rich, high-vitamin light or semi-solid foods, and encourage children to eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid consuming foods that may trigger asthma attacks, such as fish, shrimp, eggs, etc. At the same time, avoid exposing children to allergens such as pet fur, pollen, dust, and pay attention to keeping warm during winter and spring. When going out, children must be accompanied by family members and carry medication for preventing asthma attacks.
