In this episode, we talk with pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. Sunil Saini about the very common pediatric condition, asthma. We review symptoms of asthma and  commonly co-occuring conditions. We discuss how asthma is diagnosed and some tests that may play a role in assessing asthma severity or common triggers. We also review medications used to treat asthma and how to follow an asthma action plan. 

We thank Dr. Saini for joining us for this episode, although Drs. Dean and Lena take full responsibility for any errors or misinformation.
