Asthma in children and babies is more common than people realize, and this is mainly because the immune system of a child is not as strong as that of an adult. Because of this, asthma can have a damaging effect on the lungs and the airways at a quicker rate. Symptoms of asthma include coughing, difficulty breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, an upset of sleep patterns with all the previous symptoms, or frequent use of a rescue inhaler. Childhood asthma is a very serious condition that can cause a number of complications for your child, unless you have the right information on how to treat and manage asthma.
