Asthma

If your child has asthma, inhalers can be used as prescribed in school. I encourage you to provide the Clinic with your child's inhaler and/or supplies BEFORE the need arises; emergencies cannot be predicted! If your child uses an inhaler, it is highly recommended that they also use a spacer -- regardless of the student's age. Spacers can make it easier for medication to reach the lungs and decreases the amount of medication deposited in the mouth and throat, where it can lead to irritation and mild infections. Questions?
