Are your kids asthmatic? What do you do to prevent the attack?

During my mid twenties i was having an ashma.I've been having so many attacks and luckily i was able to manage treating myself without going to the doctor.It was hard.There were times that i almost decide to be confine because i was really having a difficulty to breath.I am glad my daughter didn't have it though on her younger years when she got colds and cough.I always make sure she got treated right away because when it comes to worst then there will be an infection which causes her to have fever.Now, she is on her teens and i am happy she's very healthy girl.

yes both kids are asthmatic so with me and my husband. my kids are taking montelukast for maintenance and seretide. plus, they don't only have asthma also allergy. for their allergy they use flixotide nasal spray. it's quite expensive though but i'd rather spend for it than see them suffering from attacks speacilly at night.

My Mom is 55 and she has asthma that started when she got pregnant of my youngest brother twenty-two years ago. In the family we care for her and help her as much as possible avoid an asthma attack. Even the smell of the foods (that could trigger asthma) would cause an attack. She's pampered at home. We do the chores for her because there was already an attack that was caused by fatigue, so we don't want it to happen it again. :) It's hard for us to look at Mom having an asthma attack so we try to avoid that. :)

My 12yr old step-daughter is asthmatic and was diagnosed when she was 6 months old. She has really been through a lot, however, now that we've found the triggers and the right medication she is doing great. In fact, next month will be a year since she's touched an inhaler. The key is to find what is causing it and get control. For her, allergies caused a lot of it and cold air. So she bundles good in cold weather, which actually took until she got older for her to realize what she needed to do, and she takes her allergy medicine regularly. We have also gotten her diet better. When my met my hubby he was raising her on his own and was not much of a cook, so you can imagine what her dinners were like........they either ate from a can or ate out. :) Well I provide home cooked healthier meals and enforced some routine. I strongly believe all these factors put together have led her to be where she is now...in control of her asthma. She is also on singular, which is a preventative allergy and asthma medication. One thing we've always had to do is keep up with house work, dusting and vacuuming being two of the most important chores, that I believe helps her too.

My daughter has an asthma,Yes you are right it so hard that your daughter is experiencing asthma attack.Prevention from asthma attack.....well don't let them eat chocolates,chicken and refrain using colognes or perfumes.My first aid for her when she is has her asthma attack i do make an hot water therapy breathing.It makes her comfortable

My sisters have asthma and my mom took the carpet out of there room to help them and took down the curtains and stuff like that cause this can make them sick. And they should not be by many animals and beign outside can make it worse to casue of the pollen. If they have medicine they can take that cause my sisters have puffers to take to hlep them breathe.

My son used to suffer from wheezing when he was a little boy (he's out of it now thankfully to God). We used to put a pinch of salt in his mouth when he had the attacks. I guess dust, colds, and things likewise have to be avoided.

I have asthma and all I do is I prevent the factors that trigger an attack. Dust, pollen, mist and stress are some of these. But there are times that I cannot prevent them, so when I know that I will be having an attack, like when my chest already starts to hurt and when my throat is itchy and I start to cough and wheeze, I already take a rest and start my medication. Happy mylotting!
