If your child frequently experiences wheezing, shortness of breath, persistent coughing (especially at night and in early morning hours ), or recurring chest tightness, these could indicate asthma. Moreover, if they face difficulties in participating in physical activities or if their symptoms disrupt sleep, it's essential to consider an evaluation.
At A to Z Pediatrics, Dr. Haravu Lokesh, Dr. Rupal Desai, Dr. Monica Porcelli and Tarah Savino, PA specialize in pediatric care and managing conditions like asthma. We're here to provide a comprehensive assessment of personalized treatment plans and educate you and your child about asthma management. Our goal is to empower your family with the tools to control and mitigate asthma's impact on your child's life.
Managing asthma in your child involves a comprehensive approach to diagnose, control, and minimize symptoms, ensuring their well-being. Create an asthma action plan with our pediatrician. Educate yourself and your child about asthma triggers, symptoms, and medication use.
Ensure they take their prescribed medications consistently, including long-term controllers and quick-relief inhalers( carry one in person if prescribed by your doctor)
Identify triggers specific to your child. Common triggers include pet dander, pollen, dust mites, or smoke. Make necessary changes at home, like using allergen-proof bedding, removal of feather pillows, carpets in the bedroom or avoiding exposure to cigarette smoke.
Encourage physical activity, as exercise is crucial for overall health. However, ensure your child uses their inhaler as a preventive measure before physical activity. Teach them breathing techniques and how to use their inhaler correctly.
