Do you need to review your asthma action plan?

Asthma symptoms can worsen in spring and summer as the pollen count increases.

It's important to keep a digital copy of your asthma action plan on your phone so it’s accessible.

If you’re the parent or carer of a child with asthma, remember to provide a copy of the plan to your child's school, preschool or childcare facility.

For more information, call the Asthma Helpline on 1800 ASTHMA (1800 278 462) or visit www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/asthma

It’s going to be a hot one tomorrow, so stay cool 😎

Heatstroke happens when the body temperature rises above 40.5 degrees Celsius. Immediate first aid is needed to lower the body temperature as quickly as possible.

To treat heatstroke:
• If you notice symptoms in yourself or others, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
• If the person is unconscious, do not give them aspirin or paracetamol
• move them to a cool area and keep them still
• give them small sips of fluid.

If you can, bring their temperature down by:
• sponging them with cool water
• putting them in a cool shower
• spraying them with cool water from a garden hose
• soaking their clothes with cool water
• placing cool packs around them.
