CARE MANAGEMENT SIX TIPS FOR MANAGING YOUR ASTHMA THIS WINTER Cover your mouth and nose when in the cold air. Change the air filters in your home and car regularly. Keep the smoke out of your home. Cigarettes, wood-burning fireplaces, and even candles can fill the air with smoke. Know your or your child’s triggers and how to avoid them. Regularly review your or your child’s Asthma Action Plan with your doctor – and follow it! Try to avoid getting sick! Getting sick can increase your chances of having an asthma attack. a. Wash your hands regularly. b. Limit contact with those who are sick. c. Talk to your doctor about getting a flu shot. Do you need help managing your or your child’s asthma or diabetes at home?
