Twenty percent of Singapore children and five percent of adults suffer asthma, according to the ministry of Health. What's

more, the incedence of the ailment among children has doubled in the last 15 years. "Asthma is under-treated and more severe than many people realize," says Dr. Lee Bee Wah, president of Asthma Association in Singapore. "Early detection is vital for effective treatment." Common symtoms to watch out for include:
Coughing
Chest tightness
Wheezing
Shallow or difficult breathing
Shortness of breath
Tiring quickly during exercise.
If your kids show any symptoms, consult a physician.
