As a parent, you want to do everything possible to keep your child safe. Finding out that your
child has asthma can be stressful, especially if you are unsure how to manage the situation. If
your child has been diagnosed with this potentially fatal condition, you must find ways to help
them manage their symptoms.
When it comes to children's asthma, the lungs and airways are easily inflamed when exposed to particular triggers. That includes pollen inhalation, colds, or other respiratory infections. Asthma in children causes symptoms that interrupt a child's daily routine, as well as sleep. Asthma can cause severe seizures in some children if appropriate treatment is not received. By cooperating with your pediatric healthcare team and taking a few simple steps at home, you may be able to help your child manage their asthma under control.
