The most important thing to do for a worsening asthma is to give the blue reliever inhaler 4 puffs every 4 hours using a spacer.

By acting quickly at home, you might stop the asthma attack or symptoms from getting very bad. You might even stop a hospital admission.

If there is anything that you still do not understand, ask your child’s asthma team.
