My son is almost 3 years old and he's been dealing with childhood asthma. We've had to take him to the hospital three times already because of it, and we're still facing challenges. I'm really worried about him. Is this something that can be cured, or is it just about managing it for now?
Pediatric opinion is advised to the patient.
