Abstract
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases of the airways, characterized by allergic inflammation in the airways, often as a result of exposure to allergens, cold air, tobacco smoke, exercise, or emotional stress. The most common asthma symptoms in children are: cough, shortness of breath with wheezing, chest pressure and shortness of breath. Asthma is an incurable disease, but its symptoms, which range from mild to life-threatening, can be controlled with medication and lifestyle, thus ensuring a full and normal life for the child.
