Traveling with asthma
Summer vacation. It's what kids look forward to all year long. So when planning your family's trips this year, remember to choose destinations that offer activities for everyone. This is especially true for the families of the 9 million children in America who have asthma. Consider climate, pollution, seasonal allergens and access to medical facilities when choosing your destination. Dr. Derek Johnson, pediatric allergist and immunologist: "Asthma does not have to be a vacation stopper. The most important thing parents can do is plan ahead. You can go online and you can look at pollen counts and pollution levels in the cities that you're traveling to and know what to expect when you arrive." Choosing lodging also can be tricky when traveling with a child with asthma. Potential irritants such as smoke, mold and dust mites are everywhere.
