Wondering How to Give Your Child the Best Asthma Care?

If a child coughs or wheezes frequently, it's worth considering whether their airways might be sensitive. Here's the thing: if someone's airways aren't sensitive, they can enter a cold room without coughing. But if the airways are sensitive, even a normal environment at school can trigger coughing because the lungs react to the surroundings, causing coughing in response to the sensitive airway. So, if a child is noted to cough more, especially at night or in air-conditioned environments, it signals a sensitive airway, suggesting a higher likelihood of asthma. Recognizing these patterns is crucial in identifying potential asthma in a child.
