Management of Pediatric Asthma

Le résumé fourni par la source

A four-year-old boy presents for evaluation of recurrent episodes of cough and wheezing since one year of age. His initial episode, at age three months, was in the setting of a viral illness characterized by coryza, low-grade fever, and wheezing. For two years, he has experienced cough and wheeze with nearly all upper respiratory tract infections. Over the past year, his mother has noticed coughing and wheezing while he played soccer in addition to similar symptoms during upper respiratory tract infections. He awakens due to cough or wheeze approximately twice monthly. Albuterol consistently provides prompt, albeit transient, symptom relief. Oral corticosteroids have been prescribed twice yearly for the most significant episodes. No emergency department visits or hospitalizations have been required.
