Children's Asthma

Asthma is a chronic lung condition causing airway obstruction. Children with asthma may experience wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and trouble breathing. Symptoms may be triggered when the body reacts to factors such as stress, exercise, allergens, respiratory infections or changes in temperature. The goal of quality asthma care for children is not only to manage and treat asthma attacks but also to educate the family and child on how to prevent asthma symptoms.
