Asthma
Helping kids breathe easier
Our pediatric experts can tell families a lot about their child's asthma diagnosis and the treatment to come. One thing they can't always tell them: how it will feel.
That's why we connected a family just diagnosed with asthma with a family who's been there — to answer questions, to ease fears and to offer hope about everything from symptoms to medications to living with asthma.
Meet the families
Our new family
Recently, our doctors confirmed what Yaretzi's mom, Claudia, has long suspected: She has asthma. Now, they're ready to get her asthma under control.
Our experienced family
Ava was diagnosed with asthma four years ago, and now she's a 7-year-old expert. She and her mom, Angela, share the tips they've learned along the way.
The asthma journey
Signs and diagnosis
Though it can be scary to learn your child has asthma, receiving a diagnosis is the first step to helping them breathe better. Learn about asthma in kids and how the right diagnosis makes all the difference.
Treatment and management
Teaching kids how to care for themselves is an important part of helping them manage their asthma. Find out how to help kids with their asthma medications and tips for preventing asthma attacks.
