Poorly controlled asthma can have a big impact on a child’s health, as well as their ability to play and learn. Uncontrolled asthma causes children to miss school, can lead to hospitalisation, and, although it is rare, in a small number of cases children can die from asthma.
We have recently updated our hugely popular Asthma and Your Child booklet. The booklet gives parents and guardians the information they need to control their child’s asthma and ensure their condition won’t stop them leading a happy, healthy and active life.
The booklet contains information about:
- How asthma is diagnosed.
- The symptoms of asthma.
- What triggers asthma.
- Types of asthma treatments.
- How to manage asthma.
- What to do during an asthma attack.
