Bronchial asthma is the most common chronic lower respiratory disease in childhood throughout the world. Diagnosis of asthma in

chil dren can be difficult, because episodic wheezing and cough are symptoms often attending respiratory disease, especially in children

under 3 years. The principles of pediatric asthma management are generally accepted and the treatment goal is disease control.

To achieve this, patients and their parents should be educated to optimally manage the disease and treatment, in collaboration with

healthcare professionals. Identification and avoidance of triggers is also of significant importance. Pharmacotherapy is the cornestone

of treatment. The optimal use of medication can, in most cases, help patient control symptoms and reduce the risk for future morbidity.
