The major goal of all diagnostic and therapeutic efforts in childhood asthma is to prevent progression of lung disease into adulthood. To improve the uncomfortable situation of underdiagnosis and undertreatment and to lower the risk of acquiring irreversible lung damage, an optimal co-working relationship between family doctor and parents, and a patient education program toward that end, is essential.
