The Symptom Diary allows children and adults to track their asthma symptoms and the medication they have taken on a daily basis. Parents should monitor their child’s Symptom Diary and speak to a healthcare professional if they notice anything that would suggest their child’s asthma is not under control, such as needing to use their reliever inhaler more than twice a week. The Symptom Diary should also be brought along to any appointments the child undertakes as it will allow healthcare professionals to see exactly what has been happening with the child and allow them to know if their asthma treatment needs altering. The diary is designed so that it used over 6 weeks but it allows the user to fill in the date so each week is recognisable.
