Asthma is a chronic lung disease that affects millions of Americans, including children. It leads to airway inflammation and reacts to various triggers, resulting in breathing difficulties. Recognizing early warning signs such as persistent cough and blue lips is crucial. Effective asthma management in schools includes establishing asthma-friendly policies, providing health services, and educating students and staff. The American Lung Association’s Asthma Friendly School Initiative offers schools the tools to create a sustainable asthma management plan for a safe environment, ensuring all students can participate in physical activities.
