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.

2. A CHRONIC CONDITION
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.

3. CAUSES OF ASTHMA IN CHILDREN
Asthma is a condition that is usually passed on genetically.
The increase in levels of allergens in polluted cities sees many children,
with no family history of asthma, develop the condition.
Children who live in poor and unhygienic surroundings are known to
develop asthma due to lacking nutrition, low immunity, and constant
exposure to cigarette smoke.
Certain illnesses such as eczema increase a child’s susceptibility to
developing asthma.

4. TRIGGERS ALL AROUND
An asthma episode is usually triggered by an external stimulus to which the
child has developed any allergy. The most common triggers are:
Pet fur
Aerosol sprays
Flower pollen
Perfumes
Cigarette smoke
Bird feathers
Foods like shellfish and eggs
Faulty eating habits and acidity
Stress

5. WHY PARENTS SHOULD BE CONCERNED
Global statistics show that asthma is the third most common cause of
hospitalisation worldwide.
With over 1 in 10 children suffering from the condition, parents worry
about spending time away when their child is at school or at play.
Asthma gets in the way of a normal childhood. Participating in fun
activities like sports, dance, or simply running with friends in the park
becomes a source of concern for parents and discomfort for the child.

6. HOMEOPATHY FOR ASTHMA
Homeopathy treatment for asthma uses safe and natural products to
provide relief from the symptoms of the condition and to help bring
respiration function to normal.
It is important to understand that asthma is not a uniform disease. It
manifests differently in each person.
Homeopathic treatments focus on each child’s medical background,
genetic susceptibilities, and frequency of asthma episodes.

7. AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
Homeopathy takes a comprehensive approach to treating and managing
asthma in children.
Homeopathic medicines focus on reducing the intensity of asthma
attacks, increasing the disease-free period, and reducing your child’s
dependency on chemical medication.
Homeopathic solutions are non-invasive and free from any harmful side-
effects. This makes parents and children comfortable at seeking
treatment for debilitating conditions such as asthma.

8. IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS
Like any other disease, an early detection helps in better prognosis and
treatment for asthma.
If your family has a history of respiratory diseases, do let your doctor
know so he can recommend an appropriate lung function test.
Early diagnosis and treatment help reduce chances of emergency
hospitalisation and improve your child’s attendance at school and
chances of a normal life.

9. IMPORTANT TIPS TO FOLLOW
Following these simple tips can help avoid the onset of an asthmatic episode:
Make sure your child drinks sufficient water. Water helps prevent the
formation of excess mucus that blocks the airways.
Inform your child’s school of his/her condition. Check if the class teacher
/ gym coach knows to administer medication in case of an attack.
Avoid the use of air fresheners, bug sprays, deodorants, and other
aerosol sprays at home.
If you have pets at home, they should not be allowed in bed.
Installing an air purifier will help get rid of any allergens in the air.
