Detailed Description

Reactive airway diseases is a common respiratory diseases affecting 1-18% of the population in different countries. The worldwide increasing incidence of asthma continues to make it a global health problem . It is one of the major causes of hospitalization among children younger than 15 years of age . It carries a significant burden to children, their families, the healthcare system and the overall community. When combined with shortness of breath, chest tightness and/or cough, it is a bronchial asthma .

Pediatric wheeze be triggered by upper respiratory tract infections . The adenoids are a prominent contributor to chronic rhinitis in the pediatric population. Clinical control of chronic rhinosinusitis may be important to optimize the control of difficult-to-treat asthma. However, the relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma in children remains largely descriptive .
