All of which makes it very difficult to breathe in or out. Common symptoms of childhood asthma include coughing at nights, difficulty breathing, noisy breathing with a tendency to wheeze on exhaling. Most children grow out of asthma by 5-8 years of age. Cold air or Pollution Stress, laughter or exercise can make breathing more difficult in a child whose asthma is not well controlled. It is important to avoid any known triggers particularly cigarette smoke and animal fur.
Inhalers exist that deliver aerosolised medicines straight to the airways.
Further devices can aid delivery to the young child who has not mastered the technique of inhalers. Nebulisers are most useful in aborting acute and severe attacks and many homes whose children suffer with frequent and severe asthmatic attacks find it a worthwhile investment. The child whose acute asthmatic attack or difficulty breathing is not abolished by inhalers or nebulisers needs to be referred for urgent medical attention so that stronger medicines can be administered.
