Five effects of asthma to tell the doctor

10/07/2013

A study published this month in Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the United States, listed five factors that can not be neglected by children suffering from asthma, a leading cause of school absences.
 
1 - Your child can not play sports
Bad sign

If your child can not play sports or participate in fitness classes and physical activities during recess, it is important to have the problem to the allergist. May indicate that asthma is not well controlled. If they can participate in activities, it is also important to tell your allergist to show that the disease is well managed.

2 - Symptoms worsen at home or outside
Immunotherapy solution can be

It is estimated that between 60 and 80 percent of children with asthma also have an allergy. If allergens almost inevitable, such as pollen, mold, dust and animal hair, cause asthma symptoms in your child, an allergist may include immunotherapy as part of treatment.

3 - Child depression
Reaches half of asthmatic children

Almost half of children with asthma reported depression. Anyone with asthma should be able to feel well and be active. No one should settle for less.

4 - Missing classes
Asthma is the main cause

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood and is a major cause of lost school days. Research shows that children under the care of an allergist have 77% reduction in the loss of school days.

5 - Asthma disappeared
Can not neglect

It is important the child carry and use your inhaler as prescribed, even if symptoms are not bothersome. Although asthma symptoms are controlled with proper treatment, there is no cure for asthma. An asthma attack can occur at any time.
