Hi, the number of children having asthmatic attacks is on the increase now. This, I personally attribute to pollution. The way in which to tackle asthma is at two levels, at the preventive level and at the therapeutic level.
For prevention steroid inhalers are used regularly for prevention of attacks. The steroid content is very low in an inhaler and only acts locally. Use will prevent the causative allergens from triggering an attack.Repeated cold with nasal blockage can trigger attacks. Keep the nostrils clear of blockages by using nasal drops or sprays and try steam inhalation.
For therapy: During the attack, asthalin inhalers are used. Asthalin is used only during the attack and is not used for prevention.
The goal of therapy must be to keep the child symptom free even during exercise. The child must carry on all normal activities and physical activity will increase her appetite and in turn, her weight. The good news is that children who develop it early, outgrow the problem early too. Regards.
