How can a leukotriene antagonist help treat my child's asthma?

A class of drugs considered partially anti-inflammatory are called leukotriene antagonists. These medications, such as montelukast (Singulair), zafirlukast (Accolate), and zileuton (Zyflo), work against one variety of inflammation-causing substances that increase in children with exercise- and allergy-induced asthma. Hence, they are often added to inhaled corticosteroids when these factors are identified as triggers in individual cases.

They are not recommended for use as the only anti-inflammatory drug for asthma treatment because they block only one aspect of inflammation, whereas corticosteroids treat the inflammation that results from all these chemical effects, not just one of them.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
