Abstract
- Mild asthma is prevalent in childhood and causes as many as 30%–40% asthma exacerbations requiring emergency visits. The management of "intermittent" and "mild persistent" asthma phenotypes is still a matter of debate, even if the role of inhaled corticosteroids, both continuous and intermittent, is a cornerstone in this field. Recent updates of the guidelines on the strategies to manage these patients are coming, since the role of inflammation in these asthma phenotypes is crucial, as well as the potential side effect and risks of short‐acting beta 2 agonists overuse, prescribed as the only "as‐needed" treatments. In this paper, we overview the new (r)evolution regarding intermittent and mild persistent asthma management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
