What Is Asthma?
Asthma, also known as “bronchial asthma,” is a condition that affects the lungs and breathing. When a child has asthma, it does not disappear on its own and requires regular medical care; otherwise, it can become a serious condition. Normally, the muscles around the airways stay relaxed, allowing air to move easily. During an asthma attack, the following changes can occur:
- Bronchospasm: The muscles around the airways tighten, making the airways narrow. Air cannot move freely through tightened passages.
- Mucus production: During an asthma attack, the body produces excess mucus. This thick mucus blocks the airways.
- Inflammation: The lining of the airways becomes swollen, making it harder for air to pass and affecting the lungs.
Types of Asthma
Asthma is categorized into two main types based on causes and severity:
- Intermittent: Intermittent asthma comes and goes. Between flare-ups, a child may feel completely normal.
- Persistent Asthma: Persistent asthma causes symptoms more frequently. The signs can be mild or severe. Only an asthma specialist can determine how often the symptoms occur and guide you on what to do during an asthma attack.
Signs of Asthma
Chest tightness, pain or pressure, coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing are common symptoms of asthma.
Diagnosis of Asthma
An Asthma Specialist will ask about the symptoms you have observed in your child over the last 4 to 5 days. They may order a spirometry test and a chest X-ray to diagnose this breathing disorder. After completing the diagnosis, they identify the cause of the asthma and begin the appropriate treatment plan.
Our Experienced Doctor
Treatment of Asthma
Your healthcare provider may recommend medications and therapies such as bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory medicines, and biologic therapies for asthma.
What Is an Allergy?
An allergy occurs when a person comes into contact with substances in the environment that are harmless to most people. These substances are called allergens and may be found in dust mites, insects, ticks, moulds, foods, pets, pollen, and medications. Allergies are one of the key factors associated with the cause and persistence of asthma.
What Does an Allergist Do?
An allergist diagnoses and treats asthma and allergic disorders. They have expertise in identifying allergy and asthma triggers. Allergists help individuals manage and control their allergic conditions.
When To See an Allergy Specialist?
You should visit an allergist if your child experiences:
- Skin issues such as hives (urticaria) or eczema
- Asthma symptoms affecting the lungs
- Eye and nose symptoms, such as allergic conjunctivitis or allergic rhinitis
What To Expect From the Allergy Specialist?
An allergist performs various tests to identify the allergens triggering your child’s immune response. They will ask about symptoms and create an individualised treatment plan. The allergist may advise avoiding specific triggers and may prescribe medications to help reduce allergic reactions and support recovery.
