Asthma

My child was diagnosed with asthma. How can I make my house healthier for her?

The air pollutants in the house can be just as bad as the triggers that cause asthma attacks outdoors.  The more you reduce the chemicals, particles, and dust in your house, the better for your lung health. You MUST change the filter in your air conditioner monthly.  Keeping humidity low will also decrease the risk from dust mites. Open windows some times to let fresh air in.  Hard floors, rather than carpet are easier for cleaning, and keep the air cleaner.  Also, when you cook on your stove, or in your oven, make sure to give plenty of air ventilation.
