It is important that a clinician ask for the history of the family. Many children with asthma has one of the parent or close relatives with eczema, hay fever, allergic rhinitis, or asthma. Asthma, like other allergies, has a genetic tendency.
However, it does not mean that if both parents or other close relatives have no asthma, that their child will not come down with asthma.
