Many children have asthma – it is the most common chronic disease of childhood. Paediatric asthma isn’t a different disease from asthma in adults, but children face unique challenges, that might include:
- Severe asthma attacks that require emergency treatment
- Permanent decline in lung function
- Missed school days or getting behind in school
- Poor sleep and fatigue
- Symptoms that interfere with play, sports or other activities
You can best manage your child’s asthma by following these tips:
- Teach your child to understand and avoid triggers
- Encourage your child to be active and maintain a healthy weight
- Clean thoroughly to control dust and pet dander
- Remove household products that may be an irritant
- Check pollen count reports
- Don’t allow smoking around your child
