Shaheen Sombans et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that is very common among children. With proper management and follow-ups, this condition can be easily controlled in a child. However, there are several factors that are negatively influencing a proper care of asthmatic children throughout the world. In this mini-review, the roles of the parents, the schools and the child himself were analyzed and several possible solutions to improve those hurdles were discussed.

Keywords: asthma; children.
