Pediatric group promotes awareness of childhood asthma attacks
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The American Academy of Pediatrics wants every parent to recognize an asthma attack when it happens, and provides a list of symptoms to look for in your child.
If your child is coughing, wheezing or having trouble breathing, it could mean an asthma attack.
* Breathing is difficult and faster than usual.
* Complaints of wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath.
* Speaking is affected because of the difficulty breathing.
* Drawing in of the muscles between the ribs is necessary to breathe.
If your child has these signs and asthma medication can't control them, seek medical help at once.
