Mаny children with аsthmа experience frequent flare-ups, especially during cоld and flu seasоn. A cоmmon treatment goal is to reduce the severity and frequency of these exacerbations. A clinical trial was conducted among children with a history of mild to moderate asthma attacks, comparing the efficacy of three different management strategies: (i) daily use of inhaled corticosteroids, (ii) as-needed use of a rescue inhaler (bronchodilator), and (iii) no medication (observation), just routine monitoring. Children were visited at home by study physicians at 2 weeks to assess if there were flare-ups.
