Is Your Asthma Under Control?

Do You or Your Child…

Miss school or work because of asthma?
Have trouble being active or exercising because of asthma?
Sometimes need to go to an urgent care facility or to the emergency room because of asthma?

Think in Two’s:

Take your “quick-relief inhaler” more than two times a week?
Awaken at night with asthma more than two times a month?
Refill your “quick-relief inhaler” more than two times a year?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, your (or your child’s) asthma is NOT UNDER CONTROL. Talk to your doctor about your (or your child’s) asthma!

Asthma symptoms mostly come from inflammation (swelling) in the airways. Using rescue medicines like albuterol and prednisone or decadron too much can make asthma much worse in the long run.
