In my opinion, a much safer medication choice than steroids for treating asthma is montlukast (Singulair). This new medication is safe for 2-to 5-year-olds, and the dosage is one milligram chewable tablet each evening. While I am not a big proponent of medication, especially in children, Singulair is highly effective and well tolerated, especially in exercise-induced asthma.
The best approach is for parents to help their child manage his or her asthma so that it doesn't become a major problem. Try to keep your child away from the environmental triggers that cause the attacks whenever possible. Reduce your child's exposure to stress. Key factors that increase stress in young children include inappropriate television prgograms, interaction with violent children and exposure to family conflict.
