The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology gave two thumbs up to 13-year old Sam Kimmel, who appeared on the Today show to discuss his experience as the this year's NFL Play 60 Superbowl kid, along with fellow asthma veteran, former Pittsburgh Steeler Jerome Bettis. Being based in Tampa, it's only appropriate to kick off our blog with this local story!
The best advice we could find here was taken from Jerome's mom when he was a kid: As long as you take your medicine, you will be fine! Of course medications are largely instrumental in helping manage your asthma symptoms on a day-to-day basis, but what long-term treatments exist to battle asthma at its core and help get kids back out in the field with less breaks for inhalers? What asthma treatment stories do you have?
