Any Suggestion For Child Suffering From Moderate To Severe Asthma?

Hello my 15 year old daughter has moderate to severe asthma and was prescribed singular 2 years ago. We discontinued use up until a few months ago. A couple weeks ago we noticed a reaction towards the medicine and stopped immediately. With gym class and sports it is very difficult for her to breath and I m wondering if there are any more options

Hello.

There are many options for childhood asthma. If your daughter is having moderate to severe asthma, I would suggest her to take daily controller medicines, which include montelukast, inhaled corticosteroids, inhaled combination drugs, and others.

A good control of asthma will definitely allow gym class and sports activity to your daughter.

So I would suggest to consult a pediatrician to make a good choice of controlled medicine for her and take it regularly.

I would also suggest to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes, pollution, allergens, etc if possible.

Wish her best of the health.

Regards.
