Based on our broad experience treating childhood asthma, we have developed a comprehensive educational approach to asthma management that can help patients and their families take control over their asthma. In addition to knowing what asthma is, what triggers it and what medicines are used to treat it, the patient needs to know how to take the medicine, what symptoms to watch for and how to monitor his/her status.
