Warning Signs of an Asthma Attack

If your child is coughing, wheezing or having trouble breathing, it could mean an asthma attack.

Here's a list of asthma's telltale signs, courtesy of the American Academy of Pediatrics:

Breathing is difficult and faster than usual.

Complaints of wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath.

Speaking is affected because of the difficulty breathing.

Skin color is pale.

Level of awareness has decreased.

Drawing in of the muscles between the ribs is necessary to breathe.

If your child has these signs and asthma medication can't control them, seek medical help at once.

Remember, live longer, healthier and happier.

Live 100 years!
