For parents of the approximately 2.7 million American children suffering from asthma, there's nothing more terrifying than the gasping and wheezing that signal an attack. And virtually all childhood asthmatics -- as well as nearly 20 million other children -- suffer from allergies, which can also cause frightening, sometimes fatal reactions.Now, at last, the American Lung Association gives parents of these children the resource they've been looking for -- a state-of-the-art guide to recognizing, understanding, and controlling these two dangerous and frequently interrelated conditions. From warning signs and triggers to inhalers and other medications, from asthma-or allergy-proofing a home to dealing with an emergency, this comprehensive book covers everything a family needs to know.
