asthma

The three hands-on asthma skills on one card, tiered by how much they matter: the inhaler-and-spacer routine that must be right, plus peak flow and home listening as optional add-ons.

Listening to your child's lungs at home is an optional bonus, not a safety monitor. Learn one child's normal, and why a quiet chest never means all is clear.

An asthma action plan turns hard decisions into a color you can follow at 2am. How the green, yellow, and red zones work and how to keep the plan current.

Your child spends a third of the day at school, where asthma care often breaks. The plan on file, a reachable rescue inhaler, and briefed adults close the gap.

The unglamorous levers that keep asthma flares off the calendar: protecting sleep, the annual flu shot, and check-ups that catch a stale action plan in time.

The asthma and allergy medicine cabinet has hidden long-term costs: antihistamines, montelukast's boxed warning, and rescue inhaler overuse as a warning light.

The people who watch your child love them but often have asthma half-wrong. A five-minute brief on the rescue inhaler, the action plan, and what counts as bad.
