Asthma affects millions of children worldwide and can severely impact daily life when not managed properly. Dr. Sunildatt P. Daru, a leading expert in asthma and allergy care, offers parents clarity, support, and scientific solutions for their child’s asthma.

Asthma often shows up as chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness, especially during exercise or seasonal changes. While these symptoms might seem mild at first, they can lead to emergency situations if untreated.

Dr. Daru begins asthma care with a detailed evaluation. This includes medical history, family background, and Pulmonary Function Testing (FOT). For children who are too young to perform certain breathing tests, symptom-based diagnosis and treatment trials are initiated.

Once asthma is diagnosed, the next step is individualized treatment planning. This involves:

• Inhaled medications (bronchodilators and steroids)
• Allergy management, if triggers like dust or pollen are involved
• Rescue plans for flare-ups
• Education on inhaler use and technique

A common mistake among parents is stopping medication when the child feels better. Dr. Daru educates families on the importance of consistent asthma control, rather than reacting to symptoms.

Asthma is not curable, but it is very manageable. With the right care, children can lead completely normal lives—playing, studying, and sleeping without interruption.

Supportive care like breathing exercises, home environment modifications, and regular follow-ups help strengthen long-term management. At Dr. Daru’s clinic, children and parents are empowered, not just treated.
