So talk to your GP, update your plan in advance of those symptoms becoming a problem.

A terrifying situation for Maya and her family and really exemplifies that, you know, even children with mild asthma can still be at risk of having a severe attack like Maya.

And so having an asthma action plan where you know what the green zone, orange zone and what a red zone symptoms look like.

And Maya was in the red zone there.

and what to do in that situation in terms of taking your reliever, knowing how to stay calm, the five-step rule, which is all up on the Asthma Society.

So knowing your red zone, being aware that even if you have mild asthma symptoms that are maybe unrecognised or uncontrolled, you are at risk of a severe attack.

So daily consistent use of asthma treatment is really, really important.

But I'm very thankful that Maya did well and is continuing to do well.
