How to treat pediatric asthma?

Answer

Asthma Control Medications: These drugs achieve asthma control through anti-inflammatory effects and require daily use and long-term administration. They mainly include inhaled and systemic corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers, long-acting beta-2 receptor agonists, sustained-release theophylline, and anti-IgE antibodies. Asthma Relief Medications: Used as needed to quickly relieve bronchospasm and symptoms. Commonly used drugs include short-acting inhaled beta-2 receptor agonists, inhaled anticholinergic drugs, short-acting theophylline, and short-acting oral beta-2 receptor agonists.
