Has your child had more asthma symptoms recently? (cough/wheeze/shortness of breath, tight chest)
Have they needed their reliver inhaler 3 times a week or more?

IF YES THINK: TOO MUCH BLUE SEEK A REVIEW

Back to school is an important time to think about your child’s asthma, as asthma symptoms and exacerbations can increase during this period.

REMEMBER to:

💊 Make sure your child takes their preventer inhaler every day as prescribed.
🏫 Ensure school has a spare reliever inhaler, spacer (if needed), and an up-to-date asthma action plan.
📋 Check that your child’s school has all the information they need to support their asthma.
You should be able to request these from your GP. If you don’t have everything you need, please book an asthma review as soon as possible.
