Question
When a child exhibits symptoms of a cold and cough, and has difficulty breathing at night, how should one handle pediatric asthma?
Answer
It is recommended to prevent colds and add anti-allergic medication to the antibiotic treatment. For severe cases, hormone therapy can be added. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the child is removed from allergens, including any factors that may worsen the condition. When going out in winter, a mask should be worn to avoid direct contact with cold air. Check the home for potential allergen sources such as food, paint, new construction materials, smoke, clothing, etc., and eliminate them.
