Asthma is kind of disease that attacks the respiratory system of human being. It is so dangerous that people beg to breath. During asthma attack the supply of oxygen to lungs cuts off making a person panic and suffocate. However for adults it may be quite bearable but it is very difficult for children as they are young and usually don’t have the potential to bear it. In some cases it has seen during the asthma attack people crawl on the ground like a snake dying to grasp some amount of oxygen into their lung. There are many reasons behind origin of asthma and some of them are due to human error. Asthma in children is increasing every day as they are the innocent victim and they know nothing about it. Children are mostly attacked by this disease due to their parent’s ignorance over their health or by outside factors. However these children are the one who suffer the most.
Asthma attack is active in children mainly due to poor immunity system in children. But most of the parents are not concerned about their children’s health. This is because most of the parents work outside and they leave their children at home with someone to look after them and it is that we all know baby sitters and governess usually don’t give much attention to children in their parent’s absence. So in this case children’s health problem increases which can cause asthma.
There are many factors responsible for asthma in children, for example if parents smoke cigarette or tobacco at home that can be harmful for children as they inhale the smoke and get affected by it. Smoke collects at the inner walls of lung that gradually increases and causes asthma. There are many outside factors like smoke from automobiles, factories, industries, mills, etc.
Parents should always take good care of their children. Children suffering from asthma should not play outdoor games like football, cricket, badminton, volleyball, etc. Jogging and running should be avoided as the chances of asthma attack can rise. During winters, especially for those children suffering from asthma should wear warm clothes to avoid cold breeze hitting their body.
At the initial stage of asthma children starts to suffer from nasal blockage and they find difficulty in breathing.  During the time of breathing whistling sound usually occurs. The symptoms show coughing, slight fever at night and vomiting.   There are many medications available on market for this disease and among them inhaler is the most common medication and fast reactive. However it is better to avoid this deadly disease than to accept it and cure it.
Asthma can be treated well at the initial stage and it is always advised to consult a doctor before taking any medication. Sometimes respiratory infection can show the same symptoms as asthma. So to avoid asthma in children, parents should always take good care of their children and should not ignore them.
