When your child’s asthma is not controlled, it can be hard on the whole family. Asthma attacks can lead to emergency room visits, missed school and work days, loss of sleep, stress and depression. But you can help control their asthma.
Discover the things that cause your child’s asthma attacks, triggers. Everyone with asthma has a different trigger that can cause an attack. Your child may have a few different triggers, or only one. By knowing their triggers, you can learn how to avoid them and control asthma symptoms.
Just as important is taking prescribed medications correctly. Talk to the doctor about asthma at regular check-ups. Ask any questions you have about medications or treatments. Explain the symptoms and the possible trigger of each asthma attack. It is helpful to keep an asthma diary.
There are many printable checklists and short information sheets found throughout Breatheasyville that you can use to help control asthma symptoms. Keep all your asthma information in one place.
