Can I still send my child to school even though they have asthma?

Yes, in most cases, children with asthma can safely return to school. However, it is recommended to consult with a doctor in specific situations, such as if the child has been hospitalized for asthma in the past year, is taking oral corticosteroids daily for a month or more, or has had multiple urgent medical consultations for asthma within the last 6 months. Regular treatments should be maintained to reduce the risk of complications, especially during the current pandemic. Ultimately, the decision to send a child to school is a personal one, and it is important to ensure that the child's asthma is well controlled.
