Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric asthma? How is it treated?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric asthma can vary depending on age, and may include intermittent wheezing, frequent wheezing, or even just night-time coughing. If left untreated, asthma can lead to chronic airway hyperreactivity, making treatment more difficult. Therefore, early detection and treatment of asthma are very important. Although asthma is not incurable, with appropriate treatment, many children can effectively control their symptoms. There are many medications available to help control asthma, and treatment should be started as soon as possible to avoid worsening of symptoms and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
