Since I knew that my children were asthmatic, all I have in mind was prevention. They say technically, asthma has no cure but only relief medicines are given to lighten up the attack. So, as a mom, I always put in mind that prevention is better than cure.

As time goes by, here are some things I do to prevent my children from having asthma attacks:
1. Clean up dusty places regularly with a damp cloth.
2. I really wanted to use conservatory blinds but since we could not install one as of the moment, we regularly change our curtains.
3. As much as possible, I don’t let my children’s back get wet from sweat. So every time they play, I put a hand towel on their backs.
4. Though there are no establish food that my children are allergic too, I usually don’t have chicken regularly. I just let them eat on occasional basis.
5. As part of their diet, I let them take a considerable amount of Vitamin C.

But when worst comes to worst, my first aid for my children when they are having an attack is coffee. Yes, you heard me right, coffee. I have read from an online herbal based therapy site that coffee has a natural property to act as a bronchodilator. A bronchodilator is a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, decreasing airway resistance and thereby facilitating airflow. Some synthetic medicines such salbutamol is a bronchodilator.

So far, my children are doing great. Though there are times that I couldn’t prevent an attack, they turn out to be OK and fine in the end.
