How to Prevent Asthma Attacks

• Keep asthma medicine with you at all times. Take your scheduled medicines even if your signs go away.
• Avoid cigarette, pipe and cigar smoke.   
• Stay away from foods, medicines or things that cause you to have signs of asthma. These are called triggers.
• Avoid contact with people who have a cold or flu.
• Rest and drink plenty of liquids at the first sign of a cold.
• Breathe through a scarf or other covering in cold weather.
• Talk to your doctor about an exercise to strengthen your lungs.
• Reduce stress.
