Record of Important Information


It's a good idea to keep a record of your child's healthcare professional, your pharmacist, and insurance/Medicaid information in an easy-to-find place in your wallet and home. It's also wise to give a copy to a family member, or friend in case of an emergency. If you are managing your child's asthma effectively, there should be fewer emergencies.

However, asthma is a serious condition, and it can be life-threatening. Know how to reach your child's healthcare professional and the fastest way to get an emergency care if your child needs it while at home, work, or on vacation. As a precaution, have an Asthma Emergency Contact List for getting help fast if your child needs it. Ask your healthcare professional to help you develop this contact list. Make some notes now about steps you should take and numbers you would need. Be prepared.
