As children and young people return to school, there’s often a spike in asthma attacks. This year, the #AskAboutAsthma campaign is focused on helping young people live their best lives—because asthma should never hold them back! Good asthma control means having no symptoms, and it’s crucial to support them in managing their condition at home, school, and in the community.
Follow These 4 Essential Steps:
Get an Asthma Action Plan: A personalised action plan, created with a clinician, makes you four times less likely to need hospital care.
Master Inhaler Techniques: Proper inhaler use is key—many children don’t receive the guidance they need. Let’s change that!
Schedule Regular Asthma Reviews: An annual review and check-ins after every attack ensure the condition is managed effectively.
Consider Air Quality: Always discuss the impact of indoor and outdoor air pollution on asthma. Clean air means healthier lungs!
Let’s work together to make sure asthma doesn’t limit any child’s potential.
