March 12th 2010 Children of two allergic or asthmatic parents are predisposed
Children of two allergic or asthmatic parents are predisposed to both allergies and asthma. When asthmatics encounter an asthma trigger, mast cells release chemicals to fight the trigger and airways become inflamed and constricted. Children in urban public housing are at high risk for asthma, given elevated environmental and social exposures and suboptimal medical care. For a multifactorial disease like asthma, design of intervention studies can be influenced by the relative prevalence of key risk factors. Children who use an inhaler should also use a “spacer” device, which helps them to get the medicine into the lung properly. The above are some of the asthma symptoms in children.
