Severe asthma in children can be challenging to recognise, investigate and manage effectively. In this episode of Hope & Histamine: The Paediatric Allergy Podcast, we explore the evaluation and management of severe asthma in children, including how to distinguish it from difficult-to-treat asthma, key clinical assessments, common mimics, adherence issues, comorbidities, and the latest treatment approaches.
We discuss the importance of a structured paediatric severe asthma assessment, the role of inhaler technique, environmental triggers, multidisciplinary input, and when to consider advanced therapies such as biologics. Whether you are a paediatrician, trainee, allergy specialist, respiratory clinician, or healthcare professional with an interest in children’s asthma care, this episode offers practical, evidence-informed insights to support better outcomes for children with severe asthma.
