Family Asthma Guide

Air moving in and out of the lungs may be blocked by:
• swelling of the airways
• too much mucus in the airways
• muscles squeezing around the airways

It is very important that kids with asthma get ongoing medical care, even when symptoms are not bad. If asthma is not treated, it can cause lifelong lung disease or permanent lung damage.
