Use of Inhalers in Pediatric Asthma

Inhalers are essential tools for managing pediatric asthma, delivering medication directly to the lungs. There are two main types: reliever inhalers, which provide quick relief from asthma symptoms during an attack, and preventer inhalers, used daily to reduce inflammation and prevent symptoms. Proper technique is crucial for effectiveness—children may need guidance or devices like spacer chambers. Regular use and adherence to the prescribed plan help maintain control of asthma, allowing children to engage in daily activities with fewer limitations. Parents should work closely with healthcare providers to ensure the child's asthma is effectively managed.
