Q Can my child take herbal medicine during an asthma attack?
A During an acute attack, prioritize emergency care such as the inhaler, and take herbal medicine only after stabilizing.
Detailed Answer
During an acute asthma attack, securing the airway and using the inhaler are the top priority. Taking herbal medicine during an attack is not recommended; the principle is to take it during the stabilized remission period.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Distinguishing between emergency situations and routine management is important. Herbal medicine is used during the stable period to prevent attacks and improve the constitution.
