Work with your doctor to create a personalized asthma action plan. This plan outlines daily medications, triggers to avoid, and what to do if symptoms worsen. Reviewing your plan regularly ensures you're on track and can prevent unexpected symptoms. 

Recognizing early warning signs of asthma, like wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath, is essential for staying on top of symptoms. Using a peak flow meter daily can help you keep an eye on your lung function. By noticing changes early, you can take steps to avoid a full-blown asthma attack. 

Triggers like allergens, smoke, cold air, and even stress can lead to asthma symptoms. Keep your environment as asthma-friendly as possible: reduce dust at home, avoid secondhand smoke, and stay indoors on days with high pollen levels. Knowing and avoiding your triggers can make a big difference in keeping symptoms at bay.
