This website is managed by the GlaxoSmithKline company. This website contains a lot of information regarding many aspects of asthma. It teaches what asthma is. It also teaches how to learn what asthma triggers are as well as asthma symptoms. You will also find information regarding ways to manage your asthma. You will also learn how to have asthma goals and what treatment offers there are. This article also has much information for parents that have children who suffer from asthma. It also shares many resources for your asthma needs. I believe that this is a good site to get the right information that you would want on asthma.
United States Government. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Online. 3August2013. http://www.cdc.gov/asthma/
This website is run by the government of the United States of America. The Center for Disease Control and Preventions are the first people to find out if a particular disease is dangerous or not in a particular area of our country. Here they talk about asthma and ways to take control of it by removing your triggers as well as removing triggers from your home. It also provides asthma statistics on how little there are people who are fully covered for their asthma medicine vs. people who have little or no insurance. I think this site is another good place to find out very useful information on asthma.

This website is very
educational and gives you a lot of information on asthma and allergies. I think
it is good to know information on allergies because allergies go hand in hand
with asthma. This website has a glossary of asthma terms that can help you. It
explains the difference between allergic asthma and non-allergic asthma. It helps
you find a support group or a clinic near you as well as many other services on
this website.

This article talks about
the therapy-resistant asthma. The treatments that are beyond what regular
patients with mild or moderate asthma would have to take. Including medications
that I haven’t even heard of and I thought I had severe asthma. It also
mentions non-approved methods of handling your asthma too.

This journal article offers
a checklist when it comes to your asthma inhalers. I think that this is good because
no one ever thinks to have a checklist just for their inhaler whether it is for
them or their children. It basically teaches you to handle your inhaler
properly in order to have successful asthma control.

This journal article
basically tells you that having a plan with your asthma is always good. It
suggests that you have your asthma and management of asthma reviewed at least
once a year. It also says that you should get proper training of use of the
inhaler before starting a new one. It states that you should have a written
agenda of how asthma should be managed and handled to reduce any unnecessary attacks.
