ASTHMA IN CHILDREN Ayurvedic Treatment

Physical exam

In order to rule out other similar conditions — such as a respiratory infection or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) —doctors will do a physical exam and ask you questions about your signs and symptoms and about any other health problems.¹

Tests to measure lung function

A lung (pulmonary) function test helps determine how much air moves in and out during breathing.¹

These tests may include:

• Spirometry: This test checks for how much air can be exhale after a deep breath and how fast you can breathe out.
• Peak flow: A peak flow meter is a simple device that measures how hard you can breathe out. Lower than usual peak flow readings are a sign your lungs may not be working as well and that your asthma may be getting worse.
• Lung function tests: These tests are done before and after taking a bronchodilator drug. If the lung function improves with use of a bronchodilator, it's likely you have asthma.
