Monitor and record
Keep a record of your child's symptoms and treatment schedule. Share it with your child's healthcare team. These records can help your child's care team decide whether the long-term control treatment plan works well. The care team can change the plan as needed. Keep all checkups that your healthcare professional recommends too. Information you record should include:
- The time and length and of an asthma attack, along with what happened right before it.
- Treatment responses to asthma attacks.
- Medicine side effects.
- Changes in your child's symptoms.
- Changes in activity levels or sleep patterns.
