Behandling av astma hos barn

Behandling av astma følger et såkalt trappetrinns-prinsipp. Det vil si at barnet starter på trinn en, to eller tre, og trapper opp/ned etter behov, i samråd med legen. Målsettingen er god symptomkontroll og at bivirkningene skal være minimale.

Teofyllin

Teofyllin virker ved at muskulaturen i bronkiene slappes av slik at åpningen i luftrøret blir større. Medisinen ble brukt til å behandle astma hos barn tidligere, men bruk av teofyllin til barn < 12 år frarådes nå.

Mangel på vitamin B12

Mangel på vitamin B12 skyldes utilstrekkelig inntak via kostholdet eller redusert opptak av vitamin B12 fra tarmen. Tilstanden kan være vanskelig å oppdage tidlig, fordi symptomene kan være vage og utvikles langsomt. Diagnosen stilles ved en blodprøve.
