Wheeze in younger children
A whistling sound does not always mean asthma. Age, episode pattern and symptoms between infections guide the assessment.
FOT/oscillometry may provide useful objective information during quiet breathing in selected younger children.
The diagnosis and need for treatment are reviewed as the child grows, avoiding both undertreatment and unnecessary long-term medication.
