Entry #6 Reactive Airway (Asthma) in children

Reactive Airway Disease (Asthma) in children...

Reactive Airway Disease is commonly used to diagnose coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath (Mayo clinic). Often Reactive Airway disease is interchangeably used as Asthma because diagnosing children under the age of 6 years of age is not as accurate until after they have turned 6 years of age. This is said because these signs and symptoms may or may not be caused by Asthma. Reactive airway association can sometimes be called "Bronchospasm"  as well. Change in climate (seasons), or pollen can often cause the symptoms to show up. Often times even perfume, colognes, cooking, people smoking is enough to send children into asthma attack. Depending on the severity of the symptoms Albeuterol and steroids will help stop the symptoms and allow the person who is diagnosed, to breathe better, and without difficulty.  http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/asthma/expert-answers/reactive-airway-disease/faq-20058010
