(NAPSI)-Parents strive to protect their children from harmful elements in their surroundings. But there are certain things that parents simply cannot control; children are susceptible to illnesses and diseases that are not preventable or curable. As reported by the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) in 2006, no one knows this better than the parents of the 5 million school-aged children with asthma.
As defined by the National Center for Health Statistics, asthma-a chronic respiratory disease-is characterized by onsets of inflammation and narrowing of small airways. Each child is affected to a varying degree, with attacks ranging from mild to severe.
Not only are asthma attacks dangerous (according to the National Hospital Discharge Survey, asthma is the third-ranking cause of hospitalization among children under 15 years of age), but they are also inhibitors of education. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that students miss almost 13 million days of school every year due to asthma.
