What Are The Complications Of Asthma?
My daughter is 5. She has asthama. She is on steriods everyday. DOctors tell me that asthama is an allergic reaction and very common in the area we live. She will grow out of this. None of us are asthamatic.What are the long term implications of this disease. Should we relocate?

Hi,
asthma is due to allergy. It's very difficult to diagnose asthma at 5 year old as many disease like upper respiratory infection, common cold etc presents with similar complaints.
All allergic response is not asthma. So get diagnosis from your pediatrician or pulmonologist.
Next if asthma, improper management will cause many problems like disturbed sleep, disturbed physical activities and hence intellectual development. Even physical development will be affected.
I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries.
Regards
