There are no known ways to prevent your child from developing asthma. However you can help your child reduce his or her chance of triggering an asthma attack, by taking the following steps:
- Know what your child is allergic to and avoid known triggers.
- Use hot water to wash linens.
- Use hypoallergenic pillows and mattress covers.
- Avoid foods that your child is allergic to.

- If your child is older than six months old, have her get a yearly seasonal flu shot. Also get the pandemic H1N1 flu vaccine once it is available.
