Asthma is a respiratory disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways. The pediatric asthma refers to asthma in children.
Asthma is commonly seen in children and is a major cause of school absenteeism and hospitalizations. Children with asthma can breathe normally most of the time, but when they find a substance that can cause problems (a “trigger”), an attack can occur from this disease. Common triggers of asthma include:
Smoke snuff
Powder
Pollen
Exercise
Viral infections like the common cold
Animals (hair or dander)
Chemicals in the air or in food
Mold
Changes in water (often cold water)
Strong Emotions
Aspirin and other drugs
In recent years, there has been an increase globally in the number of children with asthma. This trend has been linked to environmental factors, including air pollution. However, it is important to understand that indoor triggers can play the same role in triggering open spaces to trigger an attack of this disease.
The airways of children are closer to those of adults, which means that triggers that can cause only a slight response in an adult can be much more serious in children. In fact, in the latter, the disease can appear suddenly with severe symptoms. That is why it is important to diagnose and treat asthma in the right way. It is possible that some children need to take daily medication, even when there are no symptoms.
