By Jonathan Park

Asthma is the common cause of chronic sickness in children. There are 12% of children who encounter asthma attacks. Now, children with asthma are increasing.

There are more children who are likely to develop asthma and the risk factors for the development of childhood asthma. These factors are the occurrence of allergies, family history or its origins, respiratory infections, birth weight, exposure to cigarette smoke before and after the birth of infant and raised in a rural environment.

Studies show that there are more children acquire this kind of disorder. Actually, no one knows why many children have asthma. Some health experts say that children who are exposed to more allergens like dust, air pollution, and cigarette smoke can increase asthma triggers.

Others said that children who are not exposed to childhood diseases are likely to develop their immune system. It implies that undeveloped immune system has more risk of having asthma attacks.

Others are particular with breastfeeding of their infants. If they are not breast-fed, it prevented important substances of immune system that being transferred to babies.

The signs and symptoms of asthma that need asthma treatment are as follows;

Severe coughing which occurs during night time or while you laugh, decreases the energy during activities in school, rapid breathing, complaining of chest harshness, simply wheezing, shortness of breathing, neck tightened and chest muscles, and always get tired

There are different asthma symptoms. They vary. Some children feel different symptoms than other children with asthma. These symptoms can vary from asthma episode to the next episode in the same child with asthma symptoms.

Also remember that not all wheezing are caused by asthma. Some kids under 5 years old have respiratory viral infections such as common cold which is the common cause of asthma-like symptoms.

If your children have problems in breathing, take him or her to the physician immediately for an observation.

It is hard to diagnose asthma in babies. But in older children the disorder can easily be diagnosed. They based it on medical history, symptoms and physical test.
