Asthma in Children
Asthma is a health condition that causes inflammation of the lungs and airways. The inflammation and contraction of respiratory muscles cause a variety of symptoms.
Symptoms to look for:
- Difficulty breathing
- Wheezing during exhaling
- Dry coughing
- Feeling of tightness in the chest
- Agitation
- Itching neck, throat and ears
Serious symptoms requiring immediate medical attention include:
- Inability to speak
- Exhaustion
- Rapid heart-beat
- Sweating
- Blue lips, fingers and feet
Asthma can be a serious condition and may limit the ability of our children to fully enjoy the world around them. Please take a look at how we can use IPM in our homes to help control/limit our children's exposure to Asthma triggers.
