Can you give me some gym tips for kids with asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A short list: Have their rescue inhalers handy. Not all kids have asthma triggered by exercise; those that do can use the rescue inhaler 15-30 minutes before exercise. Coaches should know which kids have asthma ; how to dose their meds. Maintain moderate environmental humidity ; temperature, ; provide plenty of hydration. Kids who develop symptoms should be pulled from play, given meds, ; watched closely.
