Childhood asthma requires an individualized plan that includes medications that are specifically tailored for your child. Asthma treatment includes a group of medications called bronchodilators that expand the pulmonary airways and allow easier passage of oxygen. These come in a nebulized version or a Metered Dose Inhaler- MDI (the asthma pump).

Another group are special anti-inflammatory asthma medications. They come in nebulized, MDI, pills, and oral liquid preparations.

All children with asthma should have a written Asthma Action Plan, prepared by a physician, that details what medications to give in case of an emergency. If your child is experiencing respiratory difficulties follow the Asthma Action Plan and call your doctor right away.

If you do not have an Asthma Action Plan and your child is in respiratory distress, call 911.

When a child becomes injured, they can often enter a state of panic and fear. It is important to reassure them that they are going to be okay and that the situation is under control.

1. Validate their fears Their body is telling them that they are in pain and their brain is telling them to be scared, so do not dismiss these feelings, even if the injury seems minor.

2. Appear in control Even if your child knows that you are worried, put their mind at rest by showing them that you know how to fix their injury.

3. Rationalize the steps to recovery Whether it is a simple first-aid fix or a trip to the emergency room, talking with your child about every step before it happens will help remove fear of the unexpected.

4. Follow their lead It can be tempting to want to get your child back into action right away, but be patient and help them recover their confidence at their own pace.

Asthma is not easily diagnosed in childhood as it is in adulthood. It becomes even more challenging if your child has not learned to speak yet, or has not developed the linguistic maturity to articulate their symptoms. Furthermore, young children are unable to understand the complicated tests required to diagnose Asthma via pulmonary function testing (a group of tests that determine how well your lungs work).

Signs of asthma in a child include abrupt onset of respiratory difficulties while experiencing a viral cold demonstrated by fast breathing, retractions, and audible wheezing. If your child gets out of breath faster than his peers during play, that may be an early clue to asthma.

Childhood asthma is best diagnosed by a pediatrician with experience in this field.

If symptoms aren't present, then a TB skin test or TB blood test is necessary in order to diagnose the condition. TB skin testing is considered safe for children and is usually the better option over TB blood testing for young patients under 5 years old. With the TB skin test, a small needle is used, but it merely places a small amount of testing material under the child's skin. Sometimes other tests like a chest X-ray can help a professional make a diagnosis. Other times a sample of a patient's sputum (phlegm) is needed for testing. These other tests can be useful when a child has symptoms of TB or has had contact with someone who has TB.

Prior to testing, tell the professional if your child has ever had a "positive" reaction to a TB skin test or a TB blood test, or if your child has been previously treated with TB drugs.

One of the biggest decisions that parents will have to make before their baby is born, is working to decide on which pediatrician is best for their baby. Before parents start their search for the best doctor, it is rather important for them to do proper research and find out what a pediatrician actually does and what they specialize in.

Pediatricians are specialized doctors who manage the health of your children. They are specially trained to help manage all health aspects of a child's life including physical, behavior, and any mental health issues that may arise. They are highly-trained to diagnose and treat any childhood illnesses, from a minor health problem to a serious disease or health issue. Pediatricians take on additional and specialized education that will give them the skills that are required and needed in order to take care of your child's health.
