The key to asthma control: Stick to the plan

Following and updating your child's asthma action plan is the key to keeping asthma under control. Carefully track your child's asthma symptoms, and make medication changes as soon as they're needed. If you act quickly, your child is less likely to have a severe attack, and he or she won't need as much medication to control symptoms.

With careful asthma management, your child should be able to avoid flare-ups and minimize disruptions caused by asthma.
