How to Prevent Asthma Symptoms

To prevent asthma symptoms:

• Learn about your asthma and how you can control it.
• Use medications as prescribed to prevent or stop attacks.
• Avoid things that make your asthma worse.
• Get regular checkups from your Primary Care Practitioner/Family Practitioner.
• Try to avoid getting colds or the flu by washing your hands often and getting a flu shot every year. Children with asthma should get flu shots, too.
• Follow your asthma action plan.
