Description
Nitin Dhochak and co-authors update the playbook for childhood asthma, the commonest chronic lung disease of the young. Care is shifting away from simply relieving wheeze toward controlling airway inflammation early, preventing attacks, and matching biologics to the children whose biology fits them.
Two strategies headline the change: anti-inflammatory reliever therapy and maintenance-and-reliever therapy, both pairing inhaled steroids with a bronchodilator so no child relies on a blue rescue inhaler alone. Trials show fewer severe attacks in some groups, with larger studies running. For severe asthma, drugs targeting type 2 inflammation now reach children too. The review sorts what is proven, what is promising, and what to watch.
