Meds-Avoid triggers: Treating asthma should included a written asthma care plan which outlines use of medications to better control symptoms. Allergies are the most common trigger for asthma in children. The nhlbi asthma guidlines recommend identifying triggers and avoiding them. Children with persistant asthma should see an allergist to help. Allergy shots may be indicated.

Avoid triggers: Avoid known triggers, ale sure your environment is not filled with chemicals, scents or fumes.Avoid second hand smoke, be very mindful of environmental triggers and allergens and pollens, as well as clastic changes. Keep an eye on reactions to foods and make sure you are taking your medications as directed.
