This condition of altered breathing patterns often relapses. It recurs commonly and the management doesn’t change. The breathing control exercises should be repeated.
If your child has an asthma plan you should also follow the instructions on the plan if you feel your child’s asthma is getting worse. Get help, see your doctor for a check up.
Important
If your child’s breathing control and inhalers are not working follow your child’s emergency plan and dial 999.
