Asthma Management
Eden Park Pediatric Associates provides a comprehensive asthma and allergy management program for our patients.
Our pediatricians
are trained in the diagnosis and management of childhood
asthma and allergies
. Diagnosis is usually made during a sick visit when a child is wheezing or exhibiting symptoms of allergies. Occasionally, we may diagnose your child with asthma or allergies during a preventive care visit based on patient or parent concerns or our exam findings.
Pulmonary function testing is a non-invasive test performed in all patients age 5 or older with asthma to assess lung function and response to medication and to assess overall asthma control. Pulmonary function testing is done at least annually and may be done when monitoring medication changes. The test results are interpreted by our providers to help guide your child’s treatment.
Nurses trained in asthma education provide teaching about environmental controls and avoidance of triggers and test to be sure that your child is using his/her inhalers correctly. Information about caring for the medication devices that your child uses is provided and reviewed at every visit. We will provide an Asthma Action Plan for your child for school and will provide a Food Allergy Action Plan if needed.
Children with asthma should be seen in our office every 3-12 months depending on their severity of illness and their asthma control. Regular visits are required in order for us to evaluate your child prior to medication refills.
