2. ASTHMA
 Asthma (AZ-ma) is a chronic (long-term) lung disease that inflames
and narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of
wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), chest tightness,
shortness of breath, and coughing. The coughing often occurs at night
or early in the morning.
 The most common symptoms of childhood asthma are coughing and
wheezing. Coughing is typically non-productive and can frequently be
the only symptom. When it is the only symptom, this is termed cough-
variant asthma. Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound produced
by turbulent airflow through narrowed airways.

4. Why Is the Rate of Asthma in Children Increasing?
 No one really knows the exact reasons why more and
more children are developing asthma. Some experts
suggest that children spend too much time indoors
and are exposed to more and more dust, air pollution,
and secondhand smoke. Some suspect that children
are not exposed to enough childhood illnesses to
direct the attention of their immune system to bacteria
and viruses.

6. How Is Asthma Diagnosed in Children?
 Asthma in children can often be diagnosed based on
medical history, symptoms, and a physical exam. Keep in
mind that oftentimes when you take your infant or older
child to the doctor with asthma symptoms, the symptoms
may be gone by the time the doctor evaluates the child.
That's why parents are key in helping the doctor
understand the child's signs and symptoms of asthma.
