Pediatric Asthma
Pediatric asthma is a chronic respiratory disease in which children's airways become inflamed and narrow, which hinders the passage of air. It runs with episodes that can be triggered by allergies, infections, or certain environmental factors.
Common symptoms:
- Cough, especially at night or with exercise
- Whistling when breathing and a sensation of tightness in the chest
- Shortness of breath or fatigue when playing
Common triggers: Dust, smoke, pollen, weather changes, and respiratory infections usually favor the flare-ups.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician, the pediatric pulmonologist, and the allergist evaluate and follow up on childhood asthma. Identifying the triggers with professional support helps the child breathe better and maintain their daily activity with greater peace of mind.
