Work with your regular doctor or clinic to figure out which allergens affect your child or you the most. If asthma flares happen a lot, you may need to see a doctor. He or she may suggest that you make changes in your household furnishings — like removing carpeting from a sleeping area.		Concentrate on controlling those allergens.
Start with the easiest, least expensive ways, like cleaning. Set up your cleaning plan one room at a time, beginning with where the allergy-sufferer sleeps. For example: wash bedding and curtains dust and vacuum clean window sills and frames wet mop floors		Ask your doctor or clinic for asthma education information. Join an asthma support group. Keep an asthma diary.
