Pediatric variant asthma is difficult to treat and is a condition that cannot be completely cured. It is a special type of asthma and falls under allergic diseases. Clinically, treatment mainly focuses on symptom control. In daily life, it is important to avoid exposure to allergens such as cold air and animal fur, while also enhancing the body's immune function. During acute episodes, prompt treatment with inhaled medications such as salmeterol fluticasone or budesonide/formoterol should be administered under medical guidance.
