Asthma

Asthma is a common respiratory condition that affects around 9 million children every year within the U.S. Once triggered, your child’s airways will become inflamed making it difficult to breathe and lead to other serious health complications. We understand that asthma can be frightening for both children and parents. At INSERT PRACTICE, we can help you minimize symptoms and manage your child’s asthma with our comprehensive treatment options.

Common asthmatic triggers

There are several triggers that can lead to an asthma attack. Some of the most common asthmatic triggers for children include:

  • Allergens like pollen, mold, or pet dander
  • Environmental irritants like smog and smoke
  • Extreme excitement or anxiety
  • Prolonged exercises
  • Rapid weather changes or cold weather
  • Respiratory illnesses

By paying attention to potential triggers during attacks, you can help manage your child’s condition by minimizing exposure to potential triggers in the future.
