Asthma in children is mainly hereditary, but it may be caused by other factors as well. The bitter truth about Asthma is that, a child has to live with it for the rest of his life, as there’s no cure for it. The treatments are just to control the situation temporarily, but they can’t cure it. Care is a better solution, however.

Some of the factors causing Asthma, other than heredity are as follows:

• Allergies
• Eczema
• Viral infections
• Colds
• Air pollution

The severity of Asthma varies, irrespective of the causes, and more because of prevailing situations and the treatment. Again, the treatments are just to control it. Precautionary measures can help preventing Asthma go severe, but proper medication after consulting a good doctor is required.
