Hi,
Asthma is mostly allergy originated. She should visit an allergy specialist to know about the allergens causing the problem & also do desensitization treatment.
-Should avoid allergens.
-Avoid exposure to cold, fried, sour things. Also, kid dust, smoke, fumes.
-Have regular respiratory exercises (pranayama)/walking & yoga daily for -30-40 minutes to be implemented gradually.
-Follow expert advice for preventive medications as per chest specialist's advise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
