What would happen if a child has asthma but it is left untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not good: Untreated asthma can lead to irreversible damage in the lung and may impair the person's breathing for the rest of their life. A majority of children outgrow their asthma and early intervention and treatment is key to prevent long term sequelae.
