Asthma: Using an asthma action planIntroduction
If you or your child has
asthma that requires daily treatment, it is important
to have an asthma action plan. An asthma action plan is a written plan that
tells you how to treat an
asthma attack. It can help you make quick decisions in
case you are not able to think clearly during an attack. An asthma
action plan tells you: - How to treat an asthma attack early, before it becomes
severe.
- What to do if an attack becomes an emergency, and where to
get medical treatment.
Using an asthma action plan can help you stay active with
fewer asthma problems. Following your plan is a big step toward controlling the
disease so you can live the life you want.  What do the zones in an asthma action plan mean?
