Pediatric Respiratory Disorders: Asthma and Chronic Lung Diseases

Pediatric respiratory disorders, including asthma and chronic lung diseases, are among the most common health issues affecting children worldwide. Asthma, a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways, leads to episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. It is often triggered by environmental factors like allergens, pollution, respiratory infections, or physical activity. Early diagnosis and management are critical for controlling asthma and preventing exacerbations. Medications such as inhaled corticosteroids, bronchodilators, and leukotriene modifiers are commonly used to manage symptoms and reduce inflammation. Chronic lung diseases in children, such as cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are less common but can significantly impact long-term health. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs, leading to thick mucus buildup, respiratory infections, and breathing difficulties.
