Описание: Childhood Asthma: Symptoms & Treatment | Dr. Sushil Kumar Kabra | Apollo Hospital Delhi

Dr. Sushil Kumar Kabra, Senior Consultant-Pediatric Pulmonologist at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital Delhi, shares essential information about asthma in children.

In this informative video, Dr. Kabra explains that asthma prevalence can reach 10-15% among school-going children in cities like Delhi. He highlights the key symptoms of this common respiratory condition:

Recurrent cough and cold that improves temporarily but returns
Symptoms worsening at night
Increased difficulty after exercise or physical exertion
Condition aggravating with weather changes
Quick fatigue and inability to play like other children
Often accompanied by other allergic symptoms

Dr. Kabra advises parents on when to suspect asthma and seek specialist consultation, particularly when there's a family history of allergies or similar respiratory issues in other family members.

The diagnostic process typically involves a detailed history, physical examination, and may include tests such as chest X-rays, pulmonary function tests, and occasionally blood tests.

Treatment primarily consists of inhaled medications, often including low-dose inhaled steroids, which effectively control symptoms in over 96% of children. Dr. Kabra emphasizes that with proper medication and management, asthma can be well-controlled, allowing children to lead normal, active lives.

Consult with pediatric respiratory specialists at Apollo Hospitals for comprehensive asthma care tailored to your child's needs.
