Supporting Secondary Healthcare Professionals

Pre-school Wheeze

Wheezing in the context of a viral infection in children between the ages of 1 and 5 years is common. It is important to empower families to self manage episodes as well as when to know when to call for help.

It is also important that healthcare professionals consider alternative causes of their symptoms.

Children with recurrent or troublesome symptoms should undergo a trial of treatment with inhaled corticosteroids to establish if they may benefit from regular preventative therapy
