Asthma is a long-term disease of the airways in our lungs. It is the most common chronic illness among children. It is the number one reason children miss school and parents miss work. Asthma can range from mild to severe. Your Primary Care Provider can manage asthma or your child may be referred to our Pulmonary Medicine or Center for Allergy and Immunology Department based on the severity of asthma or the factors that trigger an asthma flare up. Akron Children’s team of asthma experts include physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, respiratory therapists, Certified Asthma Educators.
