ABSTRACT

It is a severe life threatening condition that can lead to death. Children with chronic asthma are at risk of increased medication induced side effects, medication error causing worsening condition, and affect adverse outcome. The poor medication adherence, lack of knowledge regarding the disease and wrong usage of inhalers can lead to impaired quality of life and it is difficult to treat the severe condition.
