Let your school know you have asthma and make sure you have a reliever inhaler and spacer available in school
To keep my asthma under control, I need my treatment every day.
When your asthma is well-controlled, you are likely to need less than 3 reliever inhalers per year
Return your used inhalers to a pharmacy to help reduce your carbon footprint
I only need my reliver inhaler very occasionally
Parents/Caregivers: Your child is at risk of a life threatening asthma attack if they do not take their medications as prescribed.
Cough, especially at night
Wheeze
Have chest tightness
Feel breethlessness
Am unable to play
Have difficulty sleeping
Need my reliver more than 3 times a week
I must continue taking my daily medicines and also take;
If the blue inhaler is not lasting for 4 hours, move to the red plan NOW!
Parents/Caregivers: If your child still feels unwell after 24 hours, make an URGENT appointment with your GP practice or Out of hours
If I am needing my reliever more often than 4 hourly, I should tell an adult immediately.
I must take one puff of my reliever every 30-60 seconds up to 10 puffs.
If there is no improvement by 10 minutes, I must seek emergency medical advice (dial 999).
Even if I start to feel better, I should see my doctor or nurse today.
