Summary
This study will provide the clinicians guidance on the safest combination of inhaled and
nasal corticosteroids for children with mild asthma and allergic rhinitis respectively;
however, one safety concern is that these products are independently known to have
dose-related effects on short term and intermediate term growth. Knemometry is a non invasive
technique for measuring short-term lower leg growth in children and is currently the method
of choice in growth studies of short duration. Subjects will be seen on a weekly basis for 18
weeks and at each visit, lower leg length will be measured using knemometry.
