Are There Any Special Considerations for Pediatric Asthma?
Yes, there are several special considerations. For example, the impact of asthma on a child's psychosocial development should not be underestimated. Children with asthma may feel isolated or limited in their activities, affecting their mental health. Schools and caregivers should be informed about the child's condition and be prepared to respond to asthma emergencies. Vaccinations, particularly against influenza and pneumococcal disease, are also recommended to reduce the risk of respiratory infections that can worsen asthma.
