AB  - Correct diagnosis of childhood asthma is essential for appropriate management. Precipitating factors, such as exercise or allergens, should be identified, and drugs prescribed as appropriate. beta-agonists are employed in children with mild episodic asthma. In children with moderate asthma, sodium cromoglycate is the first-line agent. Ketotifen and other antihistamines appear to have only a very weak antiasthmatic effect. Theophyllines are sometimes useful, but must be used with care because of side-effects. Inhaled corticosteroids are effective and necessary in those with severe disease. Successful management also depends on good compliance and appropriate patient monitoring.
