Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Xie Zixing
Symptoms of childhood variant asthma typically include coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, and may also lead to difficulty breathing and a persistent dry, irritating cough. Childhood variant asthma is associated with genetic factors as well as exposure to allergens and allergic foods in daily life. Bronchodilators can be used under a doctor's guidance; if the condition becomes severe and causes breathing difficulties, oxygen therapy may be required.
