Reliability and benefit of diagnostic procedure for asthma in young children is unclear

According to the studies, there is no test that can confirm the disease at preschool age with any certainty

Additional information

IQWiG health information

In asthma, people's airways become so narrow (temporarily or permanently) that it's difficult for them to breathe. With the right treatment, though, they can usually live a mostly symptom-free life.
