Asthma in Children

Eliminate Asthma Attack Triggers as Best as Possible by Doing the Following:

• Keep the air as clean as possible.
• Provide your child with allergy free bedding.
• Keep pet dander under control.
• Use allergy and asthma friendly cleaning & carpet care products.
• Be sure to practice smart mold control strategies in your home.
• Maintain an ideal air humidity in your home.
• Provide your child with air conditioning for easier breathing.
• Keep pollen under control.

Make an Asthma Action Plan.

The action plan should look at what triggers or brings on your child's asthma.  The plan should also include your child's daily medicine needs, And the plan should list rescue medicines for quick-relief during an attack or when asthma signs start.

Work with your child's doctor and come up with a written action plan for managing your child's asthma.

• Share the asthma action plan with your child's school, teachers, babysitters, and family members.
• Talk it over with people in your child's life.  In case of an asthma attack they will know what to do.

While asthma action plans may differ from doctor to doctor, most plans will address two areas: a daily program and a rescue program.

The action plan's daily program may list:

• Your child's asthma triggers
• Daily medicines and how to use them
• peak flow meter chart

The action plan's rescue program may list:

• Your child's warning signs
• Your child's peak flow meter readings
• Names of the rescue medicines used to treat asthma as an asthma attack gets worse
• Steps to take if your child has an asthma attack and when to call the doctor
• Emergency numbers and when to take your child to the emergency room

Remember parents, make sure you know the right amount of asthma medicine your child needs to take each day.  Talk to your child’s doctor if you have questions.  Does your child use an inhaler, a spacer device or a peak flow meter?  Ask the doctor to show you how to use these at home.  Have your child practice a few times in front of the doctor.
