Pediatric asthma

Bronchial asthma, asthma is a reversible, obstructive respiratory disease with recurrent cough, wheezing, and dyspnea, accompanied by airway hyperresponsiveness. Asthma is a common chronic respiratory disease that seriously endangers children's health. It has a high incidence and often manifests as a recurrent chronic course, which seriously affects children's learning, life and activities, and affects the growth and development of children and adolescents. Many children with asthma do not heal because of untimely treatment or improper treatment and eventually develop into adult asthma. Lung function is impaired, and some patients even completely lose physical activity. A severe asthma attack can be fatal if it is not effectively treated in a timely manner. With regard to the definition, etiology, pathogenesis, immunology, pathophysiology, and principles of diagnosis and treatment of asthma, children and adults are basically similar. However, children with asthma are in the process of continuous growth and development of intelligence, physical, psychological and immune systems, especially in areas such as immunology and pathophysiology. Childhood asthma has its special aspects.
