Peak Flow Meter
This nifty little device, called a peak flow meter, can help you and your child monitor asthma control and predict when symptoms might strike. It’s a no-brainer when you can hear your child wheezing to know that things are spiraling out of control. An asthma attack is just around the corner if you don’t act fast. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have some warning before things took a turn for the worse? Well, you can! Learn more about peak flow meters and what their daily use can tell you about your child’s lung function. We suggest measuring peak flow right before you brush teeth to pair one really good habit with another one. Happy Huffing!
