46. Asthma 101 for Parents

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood and many parents spend days and nights making sure that their child with asthma has the medications they need and doesn't have to miss school or go to the hospital for their asthma. Fall is a difficult time for many patients with asthma, so I thought it would be a good time to talk about this fall frustration. In this episode, we answer some common questions about asthma:What is asthma?How is it diagnosed?What symptoms should parents look for if they are worried about asthma?Who is at highest risk for developing asthma?Why is fall such a bad time for asthma?Do Allergies play a role in asthma?Next week, we will cover the asthma medications and answer all of your listener questions.
