Daily Southtown<\/a> reports that asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood yet one of the most under-recognized, under-diagnosed, and under-treated childhood diseases.<\/p>\n

A persistent cough, especially late at night, is the most common symptom of childhood asthma.<\/p>\n

Allergist Dr. Amee Majmundar says, ‘Any child who coughs after running, crying or exposure to cold air, or has a recurrent cough or respiratory infections, should be evaluated for asthma.

In infants, look for a rattling cough, rapid breathing and an excessive number of chest colds, or recurrent pneumonia or bronchitis.’<\/p>\n
