About

    Pediatric asthma is a common chronic respiratory condition that affects millions of children worldwide. It is characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. Children with asthma may experience flare-ups triggered by allergens, respiratory infections, exercise, or other environmental factors. Research in pediatric asthma focuses on understanding the underlying causes of the disease, identifying effective treatments and management strategies, improving diagnosis and monitoring tools, and finding ways to prevent asthma exacerbations. This research aims to improve the quality of life for children with asthma, reduce healthcare costs, and ultimately find a cure for this condition.
