Pediatric asthma is a highly prevalent chronic condition and one of the leading causes of
hospitalizations and morbidity among children. Effective asthma management requires a
combination of pharmacological interventions and preventive strategies aimed at reducing
exacerbations and improving quality of life. This study reviews the most recent updates in
pediatric asthma treatment, with a focus on new therapeutic agents and innovative
approaches. The integrative review included nine selected articles from a total of 1,507,
published between 2021 and 2024, after applying relevance filters. The results indicate that
the use of inhaled corticosteroids as rescue therapies remains an essential cornerstone in
management, while immunotherapies and environmental interventions, such as allergen
control in schools, are gaining prominence. Furthermore, studies highlight the importance of
dietary control and early prevention of allergic comorbidities, such as rhinitis and atopic
dermatitis. The combination of these pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies
shows promise in pediatric asthma management, contributing to better treatment adherence
and improved clinical outcomes.
