Pediatric Asthma

If you are concerned that your child may have asthma, we strongly advise scheduling an appointment with an asthma doctor right away.  Asthma symptoms can be obvious, such as rapid, labored breaths; however, other symptoms can be harder to spot.  Your child may only become symptomatic while playing in a soccer game or participating in a dance competition.  If your son or daughter has experienced signs of asthma only after physical activity, they may also be suffering from exercise induced asthma.  While pediatric asthma is more common, adult onset asthma is not unheard of.  Luckily, you can schedule an asthma and allergy testing appointment for the whole family!

Asthma Inhalers and Nebulizers

No matter how severe your asthma, there are many ways to cope with your respiratory problems.  Asthma inhalers and asthma nebulizers are some of the most common and effective asthma treatment methods around.  Your asthma doctors will instruct you on how many times per day you should use your asthma medication in order to utilize it to its maximum effectiveness.  Regular use of these items will greatly reduce your risk for experiencing an asthma attack.  Allergy symptoms are often mistaken for asthma symptoms, so it’s important to seek the consult of a medical professional to best manage your allergies and asthma!
