Child asthma or childhood asthma is a respiratory disease affecting infants and children. In simple language, it is nothing but asthmatic bronchitis found in the pediatric age group (children between 0-18 years). It is a chronic inflammatory condition of the respiratory tubes that is often associated with allergies. Children with asthmatic bronchitis face difficulty in breathing which results in a wheezing (whistling) sound from the chest. This condition often starts with a cold (a runny nose) and cough for weeks which is followed by breathlessness or panting after exertion. And, this breathlessness is caused due to the constriction of respiratory tubes (i.e. the bronchi) in the lungs. Many cases are often associated with allergies, such as eczema, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, etc., while some cases may only present with an inflammatory condition of the respiratory passage. And, a few cases can be a combination of allergy and an inflammatory condition.
