Asthma management depends on the frequency and severity of symptoms. Some children may require treatment only in specific situations, while others may need regular controller therapy. I assess each child's asthma individually and guide parents regarding medicines, trigger avoidance, monitoring and follow-up to maintain good symptom control.
