Free Asthma ScreeningHave you ever wondered whether your child has asthma? Now you can use a new, validated Screening Questionnaire to find out. This test is for children ages 5 to 14 years, and only takes 10 minutes to complete. We do not make a charge for this test. If your child is between ages 5-8 years, they do not have to be present, but if your child is age 8 or older, please bring them along for the screening visit. Note: This is only a screening test and does not establish a definite asthma diagnosis; but it will indicate if your child has symptoms highly suggestive of asthma and allergies.
Nitric Oxide Testing Now AvailableNitric oxide testing for asthmatic patients is now available. This test recently became available in the United States and we believe it will revolutionize the asthma treatment as we know it. Asthma is an inflammatory disease and nitric oxide testing is a noninvasive method for measuring the inflammation actually present in the asthmatic airways. It helps us to determine if your asthma is under good control and it allows us to adjust your asthma medications or even discontinue them based on precise measurements. In addition, it may help to diagnose asthma in unclear cases. For more information, call our office at (785) 273-9999 or (800) 657-7217. |
