Question

A child frequently forgets to take his asthma medications and frequently has mild asthma attacks. Which of the following is an appropriate response? As long as the attacks are mild, it is OK that the medication is not being used. Rescue medications are the most important treatments in asthma. If he does not require use of rescue medications, then he is fine. Prevention of mild asthma attacks is important because even mild attacks can cause changes in the pulmonary structures. The child should be trained in breathing exercises. If effective, these can replace the use of medications.
