Question
My baby was previously very healthy in all aspects, but recently, for some unknown reason, they have been showing some symptoms of a cold, with occasional coughing. When the child sleeps, breathing is extremely painful. We took the child to the hospital, and the doctor said that these symptoms indicate asthma. What precautions should be taken with pediatric asthma?
Answer
Asthma patients should avoid overly salty or sweet foods, and refrain from consuming cold, seafood, greasy, spicy, alcohol, and tobacco. Some patients may be allergic to certain foods, so it is advisable to avoid seafood and other similar foods. During medication, the diet should be light and nutritious, and it is best to avoid foods that are sour, made from konjac, bok choy, animal fats, as well as cold, fried, grilled, greasy, moldy, smoked, or spicy and irritating.
