A Dose of Dr. Gwenn Show 11: Childhood Asthma Update

Submitted by Dr. Gwenn Is In

Show # 11: Thursday May 28, 2009 7:30PM ET
Childhood Asthma Update!!

Asthma is the number 1 chronic condition in childhood with symptoms and treatment plans that perplex parents and kids of all ages. How can parents understand it better? How can kids be better empowered to care for their own symptoms?

Allergy and Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics (AANMA) and Schering-Plough have teamed up with a new book, Breathless Bethany Buttercup, to attempt to tackle both these important questions. Were they successful?

Tune in this week to find out as I discuss Breathless Bethany with pulmonologist Kevin Murphy, MD, and AANMA Founder Nancy Sander.
