How is pediatric asthma best treated?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Since the pathological basis of asthma is chronic non-specific inflammation, controlling chronic airway inflammation is the fundamental treatment for asthma and plays an important role in achieving long-term ideal control. Commonly used medications include inhaled corticosteroids and leukotriene receptor antagonists. Some new drugs, such as leukotriene modifiers, long-acting β2 agonists, and controlled-release theophylline, also have certain anti-inflammatory effects.
