How is asthma wheezing treated during Kashmir winters?

Asthma flare-ups in cold weather are treated using emergency nebulization (salbutamol/budesonide) followed by long-term preventative inhaled corticosteroid therapy via a spacer with mask, preventing emergency hospitalization.

When does a child with pneumonia require oxygen or hospital admission?

A child needs urgent hospitalization if oxygen saturation drops below 92%, or if they show severe signs of breathing distress such as rapid breathing, chest retractions (indrawing), grunting, or inability to drink milk.
