Asthma management across the life span: the child with asthma.
Childhood asthma has an adverse impact on children, families, and society. Treatment of asthma presents special challenges related to diagnosis, ongoing symptom monitoring, and treatment when the patient is a child. To be effective, treatment needs to be medically sound and developmentally appropriate.
