Preparing for your appointment
By Mayo Clinic staffA big part of diagnosing childhood asthma depends on accurately reporting your child's symptoms. Be prepared to talk to the doctor about:
- Exactly what symptoms your child has
- Whether symptoms occur at certain times of day
- Whether symptoms get worse or improve at certain times of the year
- What, if any, triggers seem to set off asthma flare-ups
- Whether your child has allergies, and whether he or she has a family history of allergies or asthma
