how to decide if your child with asthma should go to school
your child can probably go to school if he/she has signs or symptoms that are limited to:
- Stuffy nose, but no wheezing
- A little wheezing that goes away after taking their asthma medicines
- Ability to do usual daily activities
- No extra effort needed to breathe
- Peak flow number in the Green Zone
your child should stay home if he/she has any of these
symptoms:
- Infection, sore throat,
or swollen, painful neck glands
- Fever with a temperature
of 100°F or higher; face is hot and flushed
- Wheezing or coughing
that still bothers your child an hour after taking their asthma medicines
- Difficulty taking part in usual daily activities
- Breathing with difficulty
or breathing very fast
- Peak flow number in
the Yellow Zone or Red Zone
