With kids going to camp for the summer and back to school only a few months away, it is important that a child with asthma has an asthma action plan so that camp counselors and school staff know what to do in case of an emergency. Some specifics the plan should include are:
- Suggestions on physical activity
- Asthma triggers to avoid
- Symptoms to watch for
- List medications
- List of contacts including parents and doctor
