WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF ASTHMA THERAPY IN CHILDREN?
The goals of therapy in childhood asthma are to control the asthmatic symptoms and to allow the child to lead a normal lifestyle as possible. Essentially this means the child’s ability to take part in competitive sports, to sleep through the night undisturbed and to attend school regularly with the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, which help to preserve the lung function. The parents and children are to be educated on the preventive aspects in the control of asthma.
