Recent guidelines in bronchial asthma management in children: Review article

Abstract

Background: A common childhood and adolescent illness, asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition marked by episodes of wheezing, dyspnea, tightness in the chest, and coughing. A mix of genetic and environmental factors is likely to be responsible for its occurrence. A short-acting beta-2 agonist (such as salbutamol) breathed into the lungs is mainly used to treat acute symptoms. Inhaling corticosteroids and avoiding triggers like allergens and irritants can help prevent symptoms. Objective: to determine the recent treatment modalities in bronchial asthma management in children. Conclusion: many scientific advances have improved our understanding of asthma and ability to manage and control it effectively. However, recommendations for asthma care need to be adapted to local conditions, resources and services.
