1. What kind of childhood asthma continues into adulthood? Asthma can occur at any age, but most people with asthma develop asthma before the age of 5 Some asthma symptoms improve or get worse over time. Asthma attacks in childhood can disappear for several years and reappear in adulthood. Follow-up studies have found that people with more severe asthma in childhood have more severe asthma as they grow older. Adolescents who still have asthma during adolescence are unlikely to get rid of it later in their lives. 2. Can asthma be completely cured? This is a question that every parent of a child with asthma must ask. At the current level of medicine, asthma can only be controlled, but not completely cured. This is because asthma is the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is not possible to treat asthma by changing the genetic factors. Asthma can only be prevented and treated by avoiding allergens, desensitization, anti-inflammatory therapy, improving the immune status of the body, and reducing or reversing the inflammatory response of the airways, so as to minimize the impact of asthma on the life of the affected children. Allergen avoidance is the most fundamental and effective approach. If pediatric asthma can be effectively controlled during childhood, the tissue structure of the airways does not undergo irreversible changes. At the onset of adolescence, due to perfect immune function and endocrine changes, a significant proportion of children with asthma can heal on their own. Academician Zhong Nanshan pointed out that although it is impossible to cure asthma, 80% of patients with standardized treatment can have their condition completely controlled or well controlled, which means that patients can get rid of asthma and live a normal life. If you meet any doctor who talks about being able to cure your child’s asthma completely, then you must be wary. 3.Does asthma go untreated in adolescence? Many parents at the clinic ask this question: Will pediatric asthma be incurable by adolescence? In the past, because there were no better means to control asthma, many doctors thought that the only way to cure asthma was to wait until the child reached puberty. However, in recent years, due to the in-depth research on the pathogenesis and pathological changes of asthma, as well as the significant progress in the treatment of asthma. The view that asthma must be treated has gained the consensus of the medical community at home and abroad. Early diagnosis, early intervention and standardized treatment are the important principles of asthma treatment. The main reason lies in the fact that the pediatric immune system is not fully developed and has plasticity, and as the immune system develops gradually with age, this plasticity becomes less and less, and the chance of cure becomes less and less. Studies have found that the pathological changes in airway remodeling begin early in asthma and get progressively worse as the number of asthma attacks increases. Many adults develop asthma from childhood asthma. The more severe the asthma symptoms and the more frequent the attacks in children, the more likely they are to continue into adulthood. Therefore, parents should not take any chances with their children’s asthma. The earlier the treatment, the better, and try to cure it before adolescence. Even if the disease is not cured by adolescence, the active treatment in childhood will make it easier to relieve the symptoms of asthma in adults.
