Children with asthma need to be in an environment that doesn’t trigger attacks or worsen symptoms. This can be done by maintaining good air quality in the home. To maintain a safe environment for the child, the following things need to be followed:
- Do not smoke or allow other people to smoke in your home
- Avoid woodfires
- Avoid scented candles or room fresheners
- Change household cleaning products to unscented or nonaerosol
- Make sure that all gas appliances vent to the outdoors
- Change the air conditioning filter regularly
- Have the air conditioning running on days when there is a high pollen or mould counts
