Question
My child is four years old and has not been in good health since birth, often requiring medication. Recently, they have had a cold with a fever and have been constantly coughing. Sometimes, it seems like they are having trouble breathing and their face turns red. After a hospital check-up, they were diagnosed with pediatric asthma. I want to know what might have caused this?
Answer
When the body is exposed to allergens or when immunity is low, asthma can easily occur. The causes of pediatric asthma may include that for some people with allergic constitution, inhaling allergens such as pollen, fungal spores, or consuming fish, shrimp, shellfish, milk, and even mold can trigger asthma. In addition, factors such as respiratory infections, cold stimuli, mental stress, chemical dust, and others may also trigger asthma.
