Frequently Asked Questions

Some children do outgrow mild asthma and certain allergies, especially food allergies. However, environmental allergies and severe asthma often persist into adulthood. Proper management can help control symptoms effectively.

Yes! With proper management and pre-exercise medication if needed, children with asthma can participate in most activities. Swimming is often recommended as it's less likely to trigger symptoms.

We provide hands-on training and regular technique checks. Key points include slow, deep breathing, proper timing, and using a spacer for young children. Bring the inhaler to appointments for demonstration.

Ensure the school has your child's emergency action plan, medications, and trained staff. For severe allergies, provide an EpiPen and ensure multiple staff members know how to use it.

Seek immediate emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, severe wheezing, inability to speak in full sentences, or any signs of anaphylaxis like swelling or loss of consciousness.
