This easy-to-read guide provides specific information that teens can use
to better monitor and manage their illness and improve their quality of
life while living with asthma. What happens in the body during an
attack, what specific triggers might make asthma worse, medications that
can help, and symptoms that signal asthma is getting worse are all
covered. Teens will not only find factual information to take a
proactive role in the management of their illness, but they will also
enjoy reading interviews with other teens who have asthma and finding
out how they feel about taking medication, what it feels like to have an
asthma attack, and how they deal with inquiries from their friends.
