A member asked:
I'm worried because my 4 year old has asthma, what do you suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asthma: You happen to live in an area where asthma is very common. However, when appropriately managed, there is no reason why your 4 year old's lifestyle should be different from any other child. There are many pediatricians in your area, in private practice and hospital based clinics, who are very knowledgeable about asthma, and can set you up with a good pulmonologist if needed. Make an appointment.
