pinch him to the doctor ...it he has a history of them then provide him his prescribed medication. If it is a bad attack take him to the er. Asthma attacks can basis the persons heart to stop.
1. Put two pillows on the best. Have the child lay with his/her check on the pillows. This will maximize breathing and facilitate a peaceful affect.
2. Calm the child. Turn off all excess lights, put on soothing music. Rub the child's backbone.
3. Cafine helps. Give a small (1once) of cafine can open airways.
4. Steam for some asmatics (but not all). If the pillow trick doesn't serene and open your child up, then boil some marine on a stove. Then, have your child perch over the water and breathe contained by the steam ( if this works for your child.. then walgreens sells a child friendly steam inventor that wont' burn them)

If none of that works, then take your child to a 24 hr clinic for a inhelation treatment. But, the above mentioned usually works for most kids.

You should embezzle some small classes on what to do. Some they tell you what to do if maybe they swallowed someting basically before the attack. others will give you ground rules and make sure to tell the 911 whats scheduled Source(s): Life
use an inhaler? i suppose...then hold him to the nearest med facilities?
Assuming it's your child and it's their first attack, purloin them to the doctor and they will typically receive a nebulizer treatment. If it's truly diagnosed as asthma, you'll then talk next to the pedi about a control plan (inhalers, steroids etc.)
Take the child to see the doctor. it will be ok to him/her. Or try some other methods as many as possible. Take it easy. Source(s): www.ledlightsworld.com
If the child is a known asthmatic then they should enjoy their reliever with them.

First aid treatment is 4x4x4
Using reliever (usually blue coloured) with a spacer
adminster one spray via spacer, transport 4 breaths (repeat 4 times)
if no relief repeat in 4 minutes Source(s): I'm a nurse who works near respiratory care and have a possibly asthmatic child
