Asthma is a chest illness that causes difficulty in breathing. A person gets an asthma attack when the lungs do not get sufficient air. Things that trigger asthma attack at home are dust mites, passive smoking, mold, cockroaches, an unclean carpet, stuffed toys and the fur of cats and dogs. Other reasons could be air pollution, certain food and respiratory tract infections and vigorous exercise. The inability to breathe effortlessly and provide oxygen to the lungs makes it a fatal disease.

Asthma is an obstructive respiratory condition characterized by recurrent attacks of shortness of breath, wheezing, rapid breathing and an irritated cough. Between the ages of 3 and 8 years asthma can be found in children. Wheezing, a whistle type sound, is caused when the air flows into the lungs during an asthma attack. When the child exhales normally, mild wheezing happens, and when he exhales deeply, more severe wheezing sounds are heard. In case of extreme asthma, wheezing may be absent as no air is passing through airways.

The signs and symptoms of child asthma are mostly the same as for adults: wheezing, coughing shortness of breath, chest tightness, rapid breathing and exercise intolerance. In addition, asthma kids may have itchy, watery eyes; stuffy, runny nose; sore throat; dark circles under the eyes; flared nostrils; labored breathing; and hunched posture. Recent colds, flu, bronchitis or pneumonia may indicate asthma. Infants with asthma may refuse to suck, and may cough continuously, wheeze or generally act fussy.

Asthma is a very frequent occurrence among children. One in ten infants suffers with the disease. Usually the children outgrow the disease as they grow up but for that to happen smaller children should be treated properly and the diagnoses needs to be done effectively. Usually childhood asthma is very different from adult asthma. During childhood the symptoms are mainly of cough and wheezing. In some severe attacks the accompanying symptoms may also be of fever and breathlessness. The symptoms may usually not be in the form of a paroxysmal attack.

Asthma triggers are very difficult to zero down to, in adults. As the age advances pin pointing them keeps getting more and more difficult. These triggers are also mostly associated with respiratory tract infections and air pollutants. As the age advances considerably there is a lot of confusing signals given out by the patients that may make the diagnoses difficult further still. Asthma symptoms may also be manifesting in the form of tightness in the chest, shortness of breath or cough.

Eat the good fats and avoid the bad ones. Omega-3 oil, found in certain kinds of fish (sardines, salmon, tuna) is a potent anti-inflammatory. A study by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School and reported in Nature Immunology found that adults who ate fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids reduced asthmatic symptoms. These fatty acids are found in cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel and anchovies. Adults who never ate fish as children, were more apt to develop asthma and at an earlier age. An Indiana University study shows that high doses of fish oil of at least 5 g daily helped prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms.
