Health Tip: Create an Asthma Action Plan for School

(HealthDay News) -- If your school-age child has asthma, school educators and staff should know the specifics, in case of an emergency.

  • Symptoms to watch for.
  • Contact information for doctors, nurses, parents and/or guardians.
  • A list of the child's asthma triggers.
  • The child's best peak flow reading.
  • A list of medications, and how/when they are taken.
  • Suggestions on how the child can be physically active during gym and recess.
