Asthmatic triggers

Did you know that there are triggers - certain environmental substances - which cause your child to develop the asthmatic symptoms? They may not be obvious or visible to you, but in actual fact these particles - which can consist of dust, pet fur, pollen etc - can greatly irritate your child's lungs, and therefore inducing asthma attacks.

Therefore, do keep a note of the environment your child was in when these attacks occur, and maybe write the scenarios down a book. You will then find it easier to keep track what triggers you child's asthmatic attacks, and can try your best to avoid those scenarios in future. If unsure of the trigger causes, show what you have recorded to your family doctor, who might be able to help you identify the problem.
