Description	English: The stepwise approach is meant to assist, not replace, the clinical decision-making required to meet individual patient needs. If alternative treatment is used and response is inadequate, discontinue it and use the preferred treatment before stepping up. If clear benefit is not observed within 4-6 weeks and patient/family medication technique and adherence are satisfactory, consider adjusting therapy or alternative diagnosis. Studies on children 0-4 years of age are limited. Step 2 preferred therapy is based on Evidence A. All other recommendations are based on expert opinion and extrapolation from studies in older children.
