For kids with severe asthma, avoiding triggers can help alleviate symptoms. To decrease risk of a flare-up wash their skin and hair after exposure to a pollen-filled area. It is also important to keep windows and doors closed and frequently change A\/C filters during the peak pollen season.<\/p><p>Allergens from household pets can also cause asthma to flair. These allergens can be found in the dander, saliva, urine, and other materials from pets.<\/p><p>If your child has a grass allergy, bathing them after playing in the grass is helpful.<\/p><p>Environmental allergens are known to be a common trigger for asthma in children. These include dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and cockroaches. The best way to treat these triggers is to remove them from the child&#8217;s environment.<\/p><p>If it is cold, limit the child&#8217;s time outside or limit their activity outside on those days. Exercise is important for children with asthma, but to keep them safe, be sure their asthma is adequately controlled.
