Despite being common, diagnosing asthma in children can be difficult because &#8220;there is no one-size-fits-all set of symptoms,&#8221; according to Dr. Harvey Leo, a pediatrics specialist  who practices in Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A solid, ongoing relationship with your child&#8217;s health provider can help identify asthma risks and the best treatment for your child,&#8221; he said in an American Academy of Pediatrics <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> release.<\/p>\n<p>Key questions your child&#8217;s doctor will need to know include:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How often does your child cough or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/symptoms\/15203-wheezing\">wheeze<\/a> during the week?<\/li>\n<li> Do these symptoms affect their daily activity?<\/li>\n<li> Does your child&#8217;s coughing or wheezing wake them up at night?<\/li>\n<li> What medicines have you tried and have they helped, including nutritional supplements or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/asthma.net\/living\/homeopathic-remedies\">homeopathic therapies<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li> Does anyone in the family have a history of asthma, environmental allergies or other respiratory conditions?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For children who are old enough (typically over 7 years of age), your doctor may order an asthma test. One of the most common is a lung function test (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lung.org\/lung-health-diseases\/lung-procedures-and-tests\/spirometry#:~:text=Spirometry%20is%20the%20most%20common,of%20breath%2C%20or%20a%20cough.\">spirometry<\/a>).

These include seasonal allergies, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/digestive-diseases\/acid-reflux-ger-gerd-children\">acid reflux<\/a>, viral or bacterial infections, conditions related to a child&#8217;s anatomy and heart issues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are many tools that can help diagnose asthma, and treatment and medications that can help a child with asthma thrive.
