Asthma is a chronic lung condition with narrowed airways and
inflammation. It can occur at any age, though mostly children are
affected. If a child is diagnosed with asthma, it is important to
treat it even if the child may feel good at most of the time. This is
because even a mild asthma may result in changes to the airways that
speed up and worsen the natural decrease in lung function that occurs
as a person ages. An early treatment is also important in babies and
small children because they may have more serious problems than adults
due to their smaller bronchial tubes.
One review has noted that one-third of fatal asthma attacks occurred
in children with mild asthma. Hence, even if a child's asthma does not
appear severe, a right plan has to be developed by working with the
physician. Some experts suggest using the rule of two which states
that young children should be treated with long-term medications for
persistent asthma if they have symptoms more than 2 times a week or
use more than 2 canisters of a quick-relief medication per year....
