Asthma is a fairly common condition among children. Here are a few ways you can keep this condition under control.

Know the frequency of attacks
Some children have attacks occasionally, while others have them daily. Know the triggers. For some kids, it can be emotional stress, for others, physical exertion can lead to an attack.

Know the symptoms
Symptoms can include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest or difficulty breathing.

Have a treatment plan
This could be anything from an inhaler, to medication to natural remedies.

Take your child to the doctor for regular check-ups
