Abstract

There is poor agreement on definitions of different phenotypes of preschool wheezing disorders. The latest study found that frequent wheezing was associated with humid living environment, nutritional status (including vitamin D intake during pregnancy and serum vitamin A levels) and gene cellular level. Based on the limited evidence available, inhaled short-acting β2-agonists are recommended for symptomatic relief. Maintenance treatment with inhaled corticosteroids is recommended for multiple-trigger wheeze. Montelukast is recommended for the treatment of episodic (viral) wheeze. Key words: Infant wheezing; Related factors; Phenotype; Treatment
