Question

What medications are recommended for treating pediatric asthma?

Answer

For the treatment of pediatric asthma, the primary medications include inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta2-agonists to control chronic airway inflammation. Additionally, leukotriene modifiers and controlled-release theophylline, among others, have certain anti-inflammatory effects. The doctor will tailor the appropriate treatment plan based on the child’s age, condition, and allergic status.
