- Work with your regular doctor or clinic to find out which allergens affect your child or you the most. If asthma flares happen a lot your doctor may suggest medication or life style changes. Keep an asthma diary.
- Concentrate on controlling the allergens.
- Start with the easiest, least expensive ways, like cleaning.
- Set up your cleaning plan one room at a time, beginning with where the allergy-suffer sleeps. For example:
- Wash bedding and curtains
- Dust and vacuum
- Clean window sills and frames
- Wet mop hard surface floors
