Childhood Asthma

Childhood asthma is a common respiratory condition that affects children, causing difficulty in breathing. It occurs when the airways become inflamed and narrow, often triggered by allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or smoke. Symptoms include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. While asthma can be managed with medication and avoiding triggers, it can be serious if not treated properly. Parents are encouraged to work with healthcare providers to create an action plan to help their child manage symptoms and maintain a healthy lifestyle, ensuring they can participate fully in everyday activities.
