If you find yourself trying to manage your child’s coughing and wheezing from an asthmatic flare up, it might be time to create an action plan.  An asthma action plan is created with your child’s doctor to lessen the amount of asthma flare ups by reducing the triggers your child may encounter. The action plan should go everywhere they go and be shared with caretakers and teachers.  The action plan is individualized for your child and can bring some stability to an otherwise unstable condition.
