What are first aid procedures for children suffering from asthma attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Help: Them find their inhaler, if have one (if not, call 911), try to help keep them calm and limit stimulation (play/class-mates, etc.). Bring them into climate controlled area if outside. Sometimes more helpful to distract them from their breathing w/conversation, others to coach them w/slow, deep breaths as able.
