Asthma guidelines for parents - seeking feedback

0 replies

Hello everyone,

I was recently told by a parent how little information is available for families about asthma care, particularly the life-saving fact that a "test puff" from an inhaler doesn't guarantee medicine is left. I was not aware of that myself, and I felt like I was living under a rock.

Since this is life-saving knowledge, I wanted to share it, but also gauge how common this knowledge is.

Was I the only one that didn't know about the dangers of a "test-puff"?

TIA
