Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric asthma?
Answer
Children with asthma may experience symptoms such as snoring, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and coughing. These symptoms are often related to bacteria entering the respiratory tract, allergic stimulation causing severe tracheal pain, and may also include fever and itchy throat. Exposure to allergens and catching a cold can lead to recurrent episodes of symptoms. Treatment can involve taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and antiallergic asthma-relieving drugs. For recurrent episodes, asthma inhalers can be used for treatment and prevention. It is also important to keep warm and wear a mask to prevent catching a cold.
