Keeping Track of Asthma Symptoms and Triggers

Keeping Track of Asthma Symptoms and Triggers

The first time I heard of PULMICORT RESPULES was after Ben was diagnosed with asthma. They placed him on PULMICORT RESPULES and had him use it daily to keep the inflammation in his lungs down. He was so small. We got into a routine. Every day at 6:30.

But Ben’s doctor told me there was more I could do to help with his asthma. She told me to keep a record of his symptoms and triggers between visits. This is really important because we can discuss his progress and she can make changes to his treatment plan if needed. So we keep a record, and Ben’s even gotten into it. He holds it up and shows the doctor. He even talks to her about it. When I see that Ben’s involved—not just quiet in the corner—I know he’s not going to let it hold him back.
