The : The goal for treating asthma is to allow patients to participate in the activities they enjoy with no limitations. If your child is having symptoms of asthma with exercise i would suggest you see an asthma specialist to ensure she is receiving appropriate therapy.

Not controlled: It sound like your child asthma is not controlled well. I would recommend you follow your action plan to the letter in order to achieve control with her medications. Kids should be active, run and play sports even when they have asthma. The secret is good control.
