If You Have Asthma, You’re Not Alone.
Brought to you by Memorial Hermann Children’s Hospital
If you have asthma, you’re
not alone. Nine million kids
younger than age 18 have
asthma in the U.S. Luckily,
there are many ways to help
you have fun and control your
asthma. Remember these
helpful hints:
- It’s fun to run and play outside,
but if you have asthma
and trouble breathing, stop
and take care of yourself.
- Take your medicine. Always
follow the doctor’s orders.
- Always keep your inhaler
with you. You never know
when you’ll need it.
- Stay away from dust, certain
pets, pollen, cigarette
smoke or anything else that
makes you feel bad.
- Make an action plan. Talk
with your parents about what
to do and say when your
asthma flares up away from
home. Type up the plan and
give it to teachers, the school
nurse or any other grown-ups
around you.
