Asthma Action Plan template

Allergy & Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics (AANMA)'s Asthma Action Plan template is an easy-to-use, medically reviewed resource -- we get many requests for this from school nurses!

 

Ask your healthcare provider to fill it out this Asthma Action Plan. This is a guide for preventing as well as treating symptoms, so follow it closely. Take inhaled corticosteroids daily (if prescribed) to control airway inflammation and reduce exposure to allergens and irritants (like secondhand smoke) that make asthma worse.
