<s>[INST] Hi, My son who is 2.5 yrs old started complaining of cough, several medicines were taken as per the doctor's prescription but after 2 months again he was complaining for the same. We went to the doctor, asked to get some tests done. Now after the tests, we come to know that he is suffering from Asthma. Can u pls let me know what can be done in this case. We are very much worry for him looking at the age. What is the best treatment for Asthma in this age which could lower down the changes of long-lasting. [/INST] Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.Inhalation therapy including inhalation steroids  is the best recommended treatment for such type of illness ,  but prophylactic treatment is be to taken regularly to be effective .Regular prophylactic therapy will make his symptoms better , but as of now there is no therapy to make changes in long term.Also you need to check immunization of your son , apart form routine vaccines he needs yearly flu vaccination.Hope this answers your question.
