World Asthma Day is commemorated on every first Tuesday of May to increase awareness of asthma in public.

Today,7th May 2024 ,is World Asthma Day

There is a false perception among public that Asthma is a disease of adults and it does not occur in children.

The fact is that ,approximately 10-30 % children worldwide are suffering from Asthma and there are many hidden cases of Asthma in children ,where parents do not seek treatment from a qualified doctor who can diagnose Asthma in their children

The other problem is that ,it is very hard to accept the diagnosis of Asthma in children by their parents even if a qualified doctor tries to convince the diagnosis.

Ultimately ,child has to suffer the undiagnosed disease for years .
