My child is 5yrs old.. Sometimes she whizz.. Is it asthma? Will it continue for lifetime? How to deal with it?

hi, if there is frequent and recurrent wheeze even without viral cough/colds ..yes it is likely to be asthma. It may continue or not depends on several factors including family history, clinical progress etc.It requires medications , often as inhalers and avoidance of known triggers.

hi, you must get her examined to confirm that it is indeed wheezing or congestion type sounds from the chest. Depending on that, treatment would be started. She may have an allergic tendency if she has frequent colds.

hi Surabhi, children below 5 years may wheeze with viral infections....not all of them are asthma as they may settle down with age. If there is a strong family history , wheeze severe and started at early age, wheezes even without infections, other allergies etc - then chances are higher.

I have a child who falls ill with weather change and experience breathlessness sometimes. to give releif medicines are the only releif...can I try some other remedies too.
Shipra Mathur
hi Nishtha! at that time, yes inhalers etc to relieve symptoms. As a preventor- avoid known triggers plus there are anti allergic medication and inhalers that are prescribed according to the need of the child. You could have that discussion with your local paediatrician.

Hi Shilpa, use remedies to decongest early to avoid ear discomfort. These could be avoiding cold fluids, steam inhalation if practical, nasal saline drops to keep the nose clear .

Shipra Mathur
Hi pallavi, you could try home remedies first like warm water and honey to soothe the throat. But if there is wheezing also, then at time use reliever inhalers to control the symptoms.
