Asthma symptoms in children are so serious

Children must be actively treated when they develop asthma. This disease can be mild or severe. Mild illnesses can cause a lot of discomfort to children. If they develop into severe cases, they can seriously affect their health. Therefore, the following introduces the symptoms of this disease to everyone, hoping to attract your attention.

First, when the child is exposed to cold air or other stimulation, the first symptoms are allergic symptoms such as itchy nose and runny nose.

These symptoms usually last for hours or days before an asthma attack, so parents should pay attention to changes in their children.

Second, in the early stage of the disease, the main symptom is dry cough, which is often accompanied by white mucous sputum. Severe attacks may cause symptoms such as irritability, cold sweats, etc. Children with slow-onset asthma may also develop signs of emphysema, such as barrel chest and tympanic sound on chest percussion.

The child may have high-pitched wheezing, a relatively high respiratory rate, and difficulty breathing. Infants and young children will breathe through their mouths and flare their nostrils.

Fourth, during the remission period, children with asthma generally do not have any symptoms, but some children may experience chest discomfort and some may also have wheezing in the lungs.

Heart failure may even occur, pale or gray complexion, cold limbs, low and dull heart sounds, and the child may also have symptoms such as irritability and rapid enlargement of the liver in a short period of time.
