Asthma never takes a holiday. This means that it is just as important to manage asthma when you are away from home. It is very important for family members of children who have asthma to plan carefully before taking a vacation or spending any time away from home. The goal should be to lessen the chances of your child experiencing an asthma attack, which in turn will help ensure a more enjoyable, stress-free trip.
