ASTHMA ATTACK TREATMENT
Asthma Attack Treatment
Our Team Treats Asthma Symptoms
Asthma is an ongoing inflammation of airways in the lungs. This inflammation makes the airways vulnerable to episodes of difficult breathing, also known as asthma attacks. It is common for children to experience different asthma symptoms, and these symptoms can vary from each asthmatic episode. It is important to notice the different symptoms your child might be experiencing.
Keep a lookout for the following:
- Sucking in of skin between ribs or notch in neck
- A cough that is growing worse.
- Wheezing or a high-pitch, whistle-like sound when exhaling
- Experiencing trouble breathing or shortness of breath.
- Tight, uncomfortable feeling in the chest.
