Ip KI, et al. – The present inquiry was set to assess whether corticosteroid (CS) fear is linked with asthma control in children. The authors found that CS fear and Chinese medicine (CM) usage are prevalent. They suggested that parents with CS fear were more likely to have children with poorer asthma control and have used Chinese medicine. Therefore, physicians caring for children with asthma should be aware of parents with CS fear, prepared to address the fear or concerns, and offer evidence-based alternative treatment.
