Recognising and Managing Asthma in Children

Asthma is a chronic condition that affects many children worldwide, making it difficult for them to breathe. At Kurapati Children Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and managing asthma in children, ensuring they live healthy, active lives. Here’s how to recognize and manage asthma symptoms in your child.


1. Common Asthma Symptoms in Children

Asthma symptoms include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, especially during physical activity or at night.



2. Identifying Asthma Triggers

Common asthma triggers include allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and smoke. Identifying and avoiding these triggers can help reduce the frequency of asthma attacks.


3. Treatment Options for Childhood Asthma

Asthma is typically managed with medications such as inhalers and nebulizers. Our pediatricians at Kurapati Children Hospital will tailor a treatment plan based on your child’s specific needs.



4. Asthma Action Plan

Every child with asthma should have an action plan that outlines what to do during an asthma attack. This includes medications to take and when to seek emergency care.


5. Preventing Asthma Attacks

Ensuring that your child’s asthma is well-managed with regular check-ups, medication, and lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the risk of severe asthma attacks.
