Pediatric Asthma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Pediatric asthma is a common respiratory disease of childhood in which the airways become inflamed and narrow, which makes airflow difficult in episodes.
Common symptoms:
- cough that worsens at night or with exercise
- wheezing when breathing
- a feeling of chest tightness or shortness of breath
Factors that can play a role: allergies, respiratory infections, tobacco smoke, and weather changes are often related to the flare-ups.
Who treats it? The pediatric pulmonologist is the specialist in evaluating a child's breathing and following up this condition. If your child has a persistent cough or recurrent difficulty breathing, it is worth scheduling a visit for a timely assessment.
