Breathe Easy, Young People's Guide to Asthma

Beschreibung

This comprehensive yet accessible self-help approach to asthma pulls no punches in describing what an asthma attack is, but, talking straight to kids, Weiss is encouraging about managing the condition. Chapters explain ways to identify and avoid personal triggers (house dust, smoke, animal dander, etc.), recognize warning signs, handle medication, and better deal with an attack when it occurs. Illustrations.
