Common Signs and Symptoms of Asthma in Children

Asthma is the most common cause of absenteeism from chronic illness, accounting for about 14 million missed school days. They claim that childhood asthma has been extended and is now the most common chronic disease in children.

If you have children, it is important to know the symptoms and signs of an asthmatic condition. Understand that the following symptoms “may” indicate asthma, but could be a symptom of a wide range of bronchial and lung diseases.

The most common signs and symptoms of childhood asthma are very similar to bronchitis and other respiratory infections. Symptoms include:

1. Cough. The need is created by coughing up mucus, which accumulates and needs to be clarified. The mucus is usually caused by some kind of infection or irritation. Coughing is a symptom of childhood and many adult diseases. Note that although the cough is a symptom, the type of cough has a role in understanding the cause. In short, an earthquake or lose type cough is very different than a tight cough or acts of piracy and both types can indicate certain diseases

2. Wheezing. Wheezing is most commonly associated with asthma, however, all children with asthma do not necessarily wheeze. You can identify a type of whistle whistling sound when your child breathes.

3. Chest congestion and tightness.

4. Difficulty breathing

Although these signs and symptoms may indicate childhood asthma, may also point to several common diseases of children. As a parent, you can not expect to understand how various symptoms can interfere or be able to accurately diagnose an illness such as asthma.

Another factor to consider is the frequency. The child often suffers from cough and ongoing or recurrent bouts of respiratory diseases like pneumonia or bronchitis may have childhood asthma.
