Asthma and Allergies
Controlling asthma means patients working closely with their doctors to develop an effective therapeutic regime and monitoring the condition so as to respond quickly to signs of an attack. If asthma is not well controlled, people are likely to have symptoms that can contribute to missed school or work. Asthma is one of the leading causes of children missing school. Asthma cannot be cured, but most people with asthma can control it so that they have few and infrequent symptoms and can live active lives.
