Preventing Asthma Symptoms Throughout the Year

Preventing Asthma Symptoms Throughout the Year

Ben and I go camping upstate every fall. And the problems with his asthma when we’re up there are completely different than his asthma problems when we go to a baseball game in the summer. His doctor told me that when the weather changes, so does the air he breathes, so his triggers can get worse.

But I know the best way I can help prevent his symptoms is by giving him his controller medicine every day. Spring, summer, and especially fall and winter. Cold and flu season. That’s huge for his triggers. That’s when I really try to stay a step ahead of Ben’s asthma.
