A Parent's Guide to Managing Asthma in Children
Asthma can be scary for parents and children, but with a solid plan, your child can lead a normal, active life.
Managing your child's asthma effectively involves a partnership with your pulmonologist. The cornerstone is an Asthma Action Plan, which details daily medications and what to do during an attack. It's crucial to identify and avoid triggers, which can range from dust mites to pollen. Ensure your child knows how to use their inhaler correctly, using a spacer if necessary. Regular check-ups allow the doctor to adjust medication as your child grows. With the right management, children with asthma can participate fully in sports and other activities.
