When you care for a child with asthma, it’s important to know what his or her asthma triggers are. Work with your child’s healthcare provider to create an Asthma Action Plan so you will know what to do if your child's asthma symptoms worsen.
It's also important to make sure that you know about your child’s medication and how to use the devices prescribed for your child. Be sure to stay informed, and work closely with your child's healthcare provider to help control your child's asthma symptoms and work toward his or her asthma management goals.
Five important things you can do to help your child manage his or her asthma:
Assess your child’s comfort with using medicines and devices. When appropriate, encourage your child to ask their provider any questions or concerns they may be having about their asthma. This may help your child feel a part of their healthcare team.
