The bigger question is why do children seem to suffer more from asthma than adults. One of the possible reasons suggested by experts on the subject of pediatric asthma is that children are more prone to difficulties breathing because their airways are narrower than the those of adults. If true, it explains why many of the things that appear to trigger a more serious asthma attack in children may only cause a slight reaction in adults.

In pediatric asthma, below are some of the common factors that can trigger an asthmatic episode.

- Exposure to cigarette smoke,

- Exposure to strong smell from perfumes, home spray, wet paint, flowers, strong spices

- Exposure to dust

- Exposure to pollen

- Excess exercise

- Infections that are viral in nature. These types of viral infections include the common cold.

- Exposure to the hair or dander of animals.

- Exposure to harmful chemicals from the air or even food the kids eat.

- Serious changes in weather also trigger off asthma- especially cold weather.

- Certain medications like aspirin could also be one of the factors that can bring on an asthma attack

So, if you want to avoid the severe pediatric asthma episodes, and possibly even save the life of your little children, ensure that you understand what are the common causes that can begin an asthma episode. And always remember to keep the inhalers and medicine available for that inevitable time when asthma hits.

By limiting exposure to those things that can trigger a serious pediatric asthma attack, and having the right medications available when needed, you are assuring your child a long and healthier life.

Breath Actuated Inhaler -- It is similar to an MDI except that the beginning of inhalation is what triggers the release of the medication. Maxair, salbutamol/albuterol and beclomethasone are available in breath actuated inhaler form in some countries. With the recent ban of CFC-based propellants in the US, breath actuated inhaler devices are becoming popular in the States.
