Asthma Olympics Teaches Children How to Manage Their Condition


Fulton, MD (PRWEB) March 26, 2013

On Sunday, March 10th the American Lung Association hosted the 18th annual Asthma Olympics, a fun athletic competition for children with asthma. The Asthma Olympics are designed not only to be fun, but also as a tool for educating parents and children on the best ways to manage asthma.


According to JustNebulizers.coms pharmacist Bryan Mercer, Asthmas a manageable disease as long as you know what youre doing. Thats why events like the Asthma Olympics are so important. Families go because theyre fun, but they end up getting useful, sometimes even life-saving information. Plus, it emphasizes the fact that kids dont have to let asthma hold them back. With proper precautions, they can still participate in sports and lead active healthy lives.


Information booths at the Asthma Olympics taught families about avoiding common asthma triggers such as smoke, pollens, mold, and pet hair as well as the importance of and how to take their asthma medications.


Inhalers are a popular way to take asthma medication, but children often have trouble coordinating compressing the inhaler and breathing in, which leads to them not getting the full dose, said Mercer. Nebulizers, on the other hand, create a fine mist for children to breath. The process takes between five and ten minutes, depending on the nebulizer, and ensures your child takes in all their medication. Many adult asthma sufferers also prefer to use nebulizers.


As the Asthma Olympics prove, children can be whatever they want even with asthma. Though the disease may complicate things it shouldnt stop kids from playing and competing in sports.
