you do just that, so you can help prevent your child’s asthma symptoms.

Plan
This asthma symptom prevention plan is designed to help your child’s doctor help
you to manage your child’s asthma, and also tell you and other caregivers about

emergency care. Print a blank form and bring it to your child’s doctor. Ask him
