Accurate diagnosis, the right treatment at the right step, and a written plan that keeps your child active and in school.
Asthma is an inflammatory condition of the airways, commonly triggered by viral infections, dust mites, pollen, pet dander, exercise, cold air and stress. A specialist review is worthwhile when your child has:
Inhaled corticosteroids and reliever therapy adjusted step by step to the lowest dose that keeps symptoms controlled.
A personalised plan for home and school covering daily treatment, worsening symptoms and emergencies.
Hands-on coaching with spacers and masks — because technique determines whether medicine actually reaches the lungs.
Practical advice for reducing triggers at home, with reviews every 1–3 months for moderate to severe asthma.
Many children do improve significantly, particularly those with viral-induced wheeze in the early years. Others carry asthma into adulthood — regular review ensures treatment always matches current symptoms.
At standard doses, inhaled corticosteroids are safe and remain the most effective preventive treatment. Dr Jain always uses the lowest dose that maintains control, with growth monitored at reviews.
Seek urgent help if your child needs their reliever more than every four hours, can't speak in full sentences, or is working hard to breathe. Your written action plan spells out exactly what to do.
