Q Can it recur even after treatment?
A Until lung qi is sufficiently strengthened, recurrence from external stimuli is possible, so maintenance care matters.
Detailed Answer
Asthma is a chronic condition that takes time to fully recover from. Even after treatment, it can recur with a severe cold, environmental changes, or growth-spurt turning points. It is safest to receive a check-up prescription at each seasonal transition for at least one year after treatment ends.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
To prevent recurrence, we design maintenance care in which the child takes a short course of lung-qi-replenishing prescription before each seasonal transition.
