What are common pediatric chronic conditions, and how are they managed?
Common chronic conditions in pediatrics include asthma, diabetes, and congenital heart disease. Effective management involves a multidisciplinary approach, including regular monitoring, medication adherence, lifestyle modifications, and patient education. For instance, asthma management requires identifying and avoiding triggers, using inhalers as prescribed, and having an action plan for exacerbations. Diabetes management focuses on blood sugar monitoring, insulin therapy, and dietary management.
