Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways. It is more common in boys than girls and is a leading cause of school absences. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. While it often develops before age 5, many children will outgrow asthma. Treatment focuses on reducing triggers and using medications to open airways. Parents and teachers should monitor children for symptoms and know how to respond during an asthma attack.

How Harmful is Childhood Asthma- Can it Permanently Damage Your Lungs?
A renowned pediatric asthma doctor near me says that substantial funding is going into pediatric asthma research to appropriately understand its source and its future implications.
Hay fever allergy
This document discusses hay fever and respiratory allergies in children. It explains that allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies harmless substances like pollen as threats. This causes the release of antibodies and histamine, resulting in allergy symptoms. Common symptoms in children include sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes and throat. Allergies are often linked to underlying health issues and can be managed but not avoided through natural and safe remedies. Left untreated, allergies can negatively impact children's ability to focus and participate in daily activities.
Asthma in child case write-up
1. The document discusses asthma in infants and young children. It notes that asthma is difficult to diagnose in young children, as they cannot complete airflow tests or describe their symptoms.
2. Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways causing narrowing and blockage, resulting in shortness of breath. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Left untreated, asthma can lead to respiratory distress or death.
3. Triggers for asthma attacks include allergens like dust and pollen as well as non-allergic triggers like exercise, infections, and smoke. Diagnosis involves understanding symptoms and triggers through medical history and potentially lung function or other tests.
Anaphylaxis Poster
The document discusses life-threatening allergies such as those to peanuts, tree nuts, latex, and insect stings. It describes anaphylaxis as a severe allergic reaction that can be fatal, and notes that students with anaphylaxis should have emergency plans. It also explains that epinephrine auto-injectors (EpiPens) are commonly used to treat anaphylaxis by opening airways for 15 minutes and should always be accompanied by calling 911. Instructions are provided for proper EpiPen use and storage. Teachers are advised to familiarize themselves with students' allergy plans and know where emergency medications are kept.
What You Need to Know About Asthma
This document provides information for parents about childhood asthma. It explains that asthma is a chronic lung condition characterized by airway inflammation and constriction in response to triggers. Common triggers include allergens like dust, pollen, pets and smoke. It advises parents on ways to identify asthma symptoms, manage triggers through cleaning and avoiding allergens, and treat asthma attacks. Parents are encouraged to work closely with their child's doctor to properly diagnose and manage their child's asthma.
Asthma 101”
1 in 8 children in Philadelphia has asthma, more than 51,000 children. African American and Latino children have the highest rates of asthma. Certain neighborhoods like South, North, and West Philadelphia also have higher rates. Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes swollen, irritated airways that tighten, making it difficult to breathe and produce thick mucus. Common symptoms include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness or pain. Asthma attacks can be triggered by things like dust, smoke, pets, strong oders, or cockroach dander. Controlling asthma involves regular checkups, following an asthma action plan, avoiding triggers, and using medications correctly.
Asthma Part 1
Asthma is a major health problem in the US, affecting 5 million school-aged children. It causes students to miss nearly 13 million school days per year. The presentation provides an overview of asthma, including its causes, symptoms, triggers, impact on learning, and how it can be controlled. It also discusses how to create asthma-friendly schools and handle asthma episodes.
Asthma presentation 1 18-12 bem
Asthma is a disease that makes it difficult to breathe due to inflammation in the bronchial tubes. When the tubes become inflamed and narrow, it can lead to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Common asthma triggers include allergens like pollen, dust mites, and animal dander as well as respiratory irritants like smoke, fumes, and changes in weather. Treatment involves both long-term control medications and quick-relief inhalers to prevent and relieve asthma symptoms and attacks. People with asthma need to recognize their triggers and take steps to avoid exposure in order to keep their condition under control.

Homeopathy for asthma in children
Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways of your lungs which results in
difficulty in breathing.
While asthma can strike at any age, the onset of the disease is more
common in children under the age of 12 years.
An asthma attack is characterised by an episode of breathing difficulty.
Depending on the severity of the condition, the episode can occur a few
times a week or a few times a day.
Asthma Prevalence in HK Nurture, Not Nature
Asthma is a common chronic lung disease, which affects approximately 120,000 children in Hongkong. Statistics showed that 40% of this population require outpatient specialty care from time to time. Patients who are hospitalized represent 15% of children admitted to medical facilities. In recent years, various studies proved that there is an increasing trend in the number of asthma cases.
Homeopathic Treatment for Child Asthma
Asthma can occur at any age. But the Child hood asthma or children asthma is the most common health problem in the present day society. Similarly chronic bronchitis is also another major respiratory problem frequently occurs in children at any age groups. If this chronic bronchitis is not treated properly with constitutional homeopathic treatment then it may turns into bronchial asthma in the future. The common symptoms of chronic bronchitis and child asthma are - frequent attack of cough, cold, fever, tightness of chest, shortness of breath with wheezing sound on respiration, easy fatigue and loss of appetite. Around 300 million peoples are suffering from asthma and chronic bronchitis worldwide. The prevalence of asthma is increasing especially in the children. The common allopathy treatments of chronic bronchitis and asthma with the antibiotics, anti histaminic, bronchodilator (inhaler and nebulizer), decongestant, cough syrup, steroids, though gives a temporarily relief but does not cure the disease completely and permanently. That episodic attack of child asthma and chronic bronchitis can be cured completely and permanently by constitutional homeopathy treatment.
How you can know your child has bronchitis or asthma
• Runny nose
• Frequent coughing generally occurs at night, while playing or laughing. In early stage cough is the only symptoms present
• Malaise (feverishness)
• Sometimes sore throat and headache with body pain
• Less energy during play
• Rapid breathing and complain of chest tightening
• Cannot sleep at night with difficult breathing and cough
• Whistling sound (wheezing) when breathing in or out
• Feeling of weakness and tiredness
• No appetite
Homeopathy for child asthma
Generally it’s a common view in public that Asthma is an incurable disease, but this concept is wrong. Asthma can be permanently cured by Homoeopathic medicines and the root is that Homoeopathy treats the whole patient not only the disease. So Homoeopathy will treat the patient as a whole, whatever the disease is, it doesn’t matter that patient is suffering from Asthma or any other disease. It will treat the patient (according to his nature) and if patient is cured then the disease (may be Asthma) will be cured definitely. It is called constitutional homeopathy treatment. So in Homoeopathy, medicine is given to patient and not for the disease. It means if two brothers are twins and they are suffering from Asthma, yet medicines of asthma will differ according to their nature. This concept is present only in Homoeopathy and not in other Pathies. As we see that in other Pathies the medicines will be same for a specific disease, which is present in patients with different natures. The conclusion is that we must not be prejudiced that asthma or other diseases are curable or not curable because it can be concept of Allopathy but this concept must not be applied for Homoeopathy.

A 15-year-old student presented with symptoms of active tuberculosis. He was accompanied by his 5 month old brother who appeared healthy. The document discusses the appropriate response by the local health department for the infant brother. It states that the infant most probably has had household contact with an active TB case, which is an urgent public health matter. As such, the infant should receive a chest X-ray, physical exam, and tuberculin skin test as soon as possible. Younger children are more likely to develop severe forms of TB if infected, so prompt evaluation is important.
ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS/PNEUMONIA
Acute respiratory infections such as pneumonia are a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, especially in developing countries. Pneumonia is responsible for 3.9 million deaths annually, with Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Nepal accounting for 40% of global mortality. Clinical assessment of children with suspected acute respiratory infection focuses on respiratory rate, chest indrawing, fever, and other signs of respiratory distress. Children are classified as having very severe disease, severe pneumonia, pneumonia, or no pneumonia. Treatment depends on the child's age, weight, and severity of illness, and may involve antibiotics, respiratory support, and symptomatic care. Prevention strategies center on immunization, nutrition, sanitation, and reducing indoor air pollution.

CDC recommends a three-step approach to fighting the flu. At Care Commute, we do our best to help slow the spread of germs that can cause many different illnesses and may offer some protection against the flu. Visit www.carecommute.net for more information.
Causes of asthma rising
Asthma rates are increasing in developed countries like the UK, US, and UAE. According to research, asthma medication use among children has significantly risen in recent years. There are several theories for why asthma is on the rise. The hygiene theory suggests that improved hygiene has weakened immune systems, making people more susceptible to allergens and asthma. Obesity is also linked to higher asthma risk, with obese individuals three times more likely to have asthma. Environmental factors like household cleaners and lack of vitamin D have also been associated with increased asthma rates.
The anatomy of an asthma attack
An asthma attack occurs when the airways become swollen and inflamed, making it difficult to breathe. Common symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing, and fatigue. Asthma attacks are often triggered by allergens, smoke, pollution, exercise or emotions. To manage attacks, people should avoid triggers, take medication as prescribed, and seek emergency help if symptoms worsen or do not improve with treatment. Proper diagnosis and management plans can help prevent attacks and ensure prompt medical care when needed.

All About Asthma
- 1. B Y: M E L I S S A D AV I S EEC4731
- 2. Disorder that causes inflammation in the airways (bronchi) that lead to the lungs. These airways tighten and narrow, making it hard to breathe. Affects boys twice as often as girls. Accounts for more school absences than any other chronic illness. May be an inherited tendency and can become worse if left untreated. Is currently increasing at an alarming rate. Attacks may be triggered by factors such as allergens, cigarette smoke, change in temperature, etc.
- 3. Symptoms may include: wheezing, coughing, and difficulty with breathing. Difficultly with breathing is caused by swelling and excess mucus in the airways. This is what will cause an asthma attack. Overtime, as the size of the airways increase, children will outgrow asthma attacks. Symptoms can occur while the child is running, talking, or even at rest. In most children, asthma will develop before five years of age.
- 4. Remove substances that cause flare-ups from the child's environment. Dust and Vacuum frequently. Enroll child in smaller child care programs so they can be monitored closely and less exposed to respiratory infections. Anti-inflammatory drugs and bronchodilators may be prescribed in order to open air passages. These are given in the form of inhalers or aerosol breathing treatments.
- 5. Keep child indoors if there is an abrupt temperature change (if temperature triggers attack) Allow child to participate in activities, but if exhausted, give time for rest or play quietly (if physical activity triggers attack) Monitor child’s activity and always be prepared if a child’s breathing becomes difficult. Monitor food and allergens that come into the classroom.
- 6. • Inform children what asthma is. • Tell what the warning signs are, in case children see an asthma attack about to occur. • If the teacher is away when attack is occurring, get the teacher’s attention immediately.
