1. In the treatment of asthma parents should keep these points in their mind. Bedroom of the children should be neat and clean.  Floor should be mopped with mopping sticks instead of dusting with dry clothes.
2. Screen clothes of the child’s room should be of thin material. If the screen clothes is thick with designs chances of dust setting is more.
3. Floor spread, wooden furniture, hanging dress, calendar on the wall, photos and books are the common places where the dust will settle down. So, these things should be cleaned periodically.
4. Beds of the children should be thin, moreover, it has to be cleaned daily.
5. Pet animals like cat, dog etc., should not be nurtured in the home.
6. Usually, there should not be any restriction in the diet, unless otherwise the child is allergic to a particular food. Food restriction should be avoided.  Asthma due to food allergies is unusual.
7. Teenagers and adolescent boys should be advised not to smoke.
8. Strong odour of scent, wet paint, smoke, insecticide should be avoided by the asthmatics. They should not go to the place where these things are available.
9. Children should not be allowed to go to dusty room which is shabby and unclean.
