Why would doctors ask a patient who has asthma to write down the times and places that they had asthma attack?
Doctors do this because asthmatics tend to have 'triggers' that cause asthma attacks. These triggers can be pet dander, dust, pollen, cold air, chemicals, or many other inhaled particles. Stress and other events can bring on an attack as well. Many people with asthma are allergic to something and develop asthma through this allergy, however, triggers are not always that specific allergen. The doctors are merely trying to determine what your triggers are, and if you might be allergic to something.

Regular communication with healthcare providers and creating an asthma action plan can also help parents effectively manage their child's asthma.
