Noh Seung-hee, director of Hamsoa Oriental Medicine Clinic, “If asthma lasts for a long time, it affects the child’s growth and development.”
One Point Health 1 The temperature has dropped significantly and it is quite cold in the morning and evening. Rapid daily temperature differences can lead to weakened immunity, and spring and fall, when daily temperature differences are large, are also seasons when bronchial asthma occurs as the air becomes dry. Bronchial asthma is common in children over the age of 4 to 5, and the more severe the symptoms are between the ages of 7 and 10, the more likely they are to persist into adulthood, making early detection and treatment important.
According to the Oriental medicine community on the 6th, bronchial asthma is a disease in which the airways, which are passageways through which air flows, are chronically inflamed. The main symptoms are persistent or repeated coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Symptoms of constantly recurring and prolonged coughing often occur throughout the day, especially in the middle of the night or early morning when the temperature drops.
Noh Seung-hee, director of the Bucheon City Hall branch of Hamsoa Oriental Medicine Clinic, said, “Asthma, which causes repeated coughing, can occur at any age, but it is most commonly seen in children aged 4 to 5 years or older.” “Because it is easy for this to appear, you should reduce your intake of cold foods that you enjoy during the summer and use of air conditioning devices, and be especially careful about viral infections that are prevalent,” he said.
Children with bronchial asthma may cough or become short of breath, especially when running or exercising, which may limit their activities in severe cases. Children may express symptoms as ‘short of breath’ or ‘chest feeling tight’, but infants may express symptoms as ‘chest pain with an unclear location.’
The core mechanism of bronchial asthma is an increase in ‘airway hyperresponsiveness’, in which the mucous membrane reacts excessively to even mild stimulation. It is caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental causes. It recurs frequently and often lasts for a long time. Airway hypersensitivity reactions vary depending on age, and asthma, rhinitis, and atopy often appear together.
If the condition is managed well in childhood, it often improves through the teenage years, but asthma may persist in about one in three people. Additionally, the more severe the symptoms are between the ages of 7 and 10, the more likely they are to persist beyond adulthood, so active treatment and management is needed during this period.
Bronchial Asthma_Hamsoa Oriental Medicine Clinic 0/Hamsoa Oriental Medicine Clinic If asthma symptoms do not improve and persist for a long time, a lot of energy is consumed in breathing exercises, which can affect the growth and development of the child. This is why treatment and multifaceted management are necessary to maintain normal lung function and daily life and promote good growth.
Director Noh said, “In Oriental medicine, bronchial asthma is treated by dividing it into the attack stage (acute) and the remission stage (chronic). In the attack stage, which causes symptoms such as coughing and wheezing, it relieves inflammation, removes phlegm, and relieves coughing. “We use prescriptions such as Mahaenggamseoktang and Sojaganggitang to relieve pain,” he said.
If your child has constitutionally weak organs, especially the lungs, spleen, or kidneys, it is recommended to help their recovery and immunity through treatment that strengthens the energy of the organs. Director Noh said, “A method that can be made at home is to make a hole in the pumpkin, add honey, steam it, scoop out the inside with a spoon, and eat it. This helps strengthen the bronchial tubes. Eating walnuts is also good for relieving coughs.” “he said.
To prevent and manage childhood asthma, you must be careful not to catch a cold or flu, avoid substances that cause allergies, and avoid overeating irritating foods.
