Question
What should be taken into consideration when managing pediatric asthma? The child recently has symptoms of a cold, with occasional coughing and painful breathing at night. The hospital diagnosis was asthma.
Answer
It is recommended to prevent colds and use a combination of antibiotics and antiallergic medications for treatment, with hormones added in severe cases. It is essential to stay away from allergens, including all factors that can exacerbate symptoms. Wear a mask when going out in winter to avoid contact with cold air. Check your home for possible allergens such as food, paint, new renovations, smoking, or clothing, and try to avoid these factors as much as possible.
