Asthma is a disease of the lungs that causes swelling of the airway and increased mucous, making it hard to breathe. Asthma symptoms include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, retractions (chest sinking in and ribs showing), and/or a tight feeling in the chest.
Symptoms may occur or be worse at night or early morning and every symptom should be taken seriously. Your Children’s provider will work with you to determine the triggers for your child’s asthma and the best medications to manage it.
Our providers are asthma specialists that will work with you and your child to find the right combination of medicines to control their asthma. To ensure the medication(s) get deep into your child’s lungs, proper use is important. See the below video demonstrations on commonly used asthma inhaler devices and techniques for their proper use:
