❓ What is asthma in children?

Asthma is a long-term inflammatory condition of the airways, making them sensitive to triggers like dust, smoke, weather changes, or viral infections.

🧠

Key symptoms include:

  • Recurrent cough, especially at night or early morning
  • Wheezing (whistling sound while breathing)
  • Breathlessness or chest tightness
  • Frequent episodes of "bronchitis"

According to IAP and AAP, asthma can be well-controlled with early diagnosis, trigger avoidance, and correct use of medications.

❓ What is the Asthma and Allergy Clinic?

Our Asthma and Allergy Clinic offers expert evaluation, diagnosis, and management of chronic respiratory conditions and allergic disorders in children.

  • Childhood asthma

❓ How are allergies different from infections?

Unlike infections, allergies are caused by an immune overreaction to harmless substances (allergens). They are not contagious and often run in families.

Common childhood allergies include:

  • Dust or pollen
  • Pet dander
  • Certain foods (milk, eggs, nuts)
  • Insect bites
  • Cold air or weather changes

Symptoms are often recurrent and trigger-based. Allergy testing may be advised if symptoms persist.

❓ How do I know if my child has asthma or just recurrent cold?

While colds are viral and temporary, asthma often shows a pattern:

  • Cough that comes after activity or at night
  • Episodes triggered by dust, pollen, cold air, or laughter
  • Family history of allergies or asthma
  • Repeated use of nebulisers or inhalers
📌

Persistent or recurring symptoms should be evaluated by a pediatrician.

❓ Is it safe for children to use inhalers?

Yes! Inhalers are safe, effective, and essential for asthma control when used properly. With spacer devices, even young children can use them easily.

We counsel both parents and children on correct inhaler technique, which is key for success.

❓ Can asthma or allergies be cured?

Asthma is a chronic but manageable condition. With regular follow-up and good trigger control, most children lead completely normal lives.

Some allergies improve with age, but early intervention and lifestyle changes make a big difference.
