Asthma Is not a grad problem in  the presents world.

“There are more hazards with undertreating asthma, such as losing days of school or even death,  says William Lunn, MD, the director of the interventional pulmonary service at Baylor College of Medicine, in Houston. “As a doctor, I would hate for parents to get scared by reports and decide that their kids should not be treated with asthma medications.”

Depandes Of your Care thats your child. Oral steroids suppress growth in children
Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that do a great job of suppressing the underlying inflammation that can lead to asthma attacks. They can either be inhaled or swallowed as a liquid, and include the drugs prednisone, prednisolone (an oral version of prednisone), Flovent, and Pulmicort. Although people often refer to them as steroids, they are not in the same class of drug as the muscle builders sometimes abused by athletes.

Calhoun, MD, a professor of medicine and the vice chair of the department of medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch, in Galveston. So your Chaild Is very Carefully Thats your hand.
