Don’t allow your asthmatic child to take a fluffy toy to bed because it will attract dust and mites. If the child wants a soft toy, it should be of a washable fabric and laundered regularly.Consider the following advice from Sally, the mother of an asthmatic two-year-old:We have two identical rag dolls, so when one is being washed and dried the other one is used. My daughter will not go to bed without her doll and she has not yet realized there are two in circulation. Before I had the idea of rotating duplicate dolls, there would be a terrible scene at bedtime whenever the only one was in the wash. Because she is a bad asthmatic, I tried to introduce a wooden animal as the favourite toy, but it was firmly rejected on the grounds that it was not cuddly. I can see her point, so we have solved the problem by regular washings and airings.MouldIt is important for allergy sufferers not to be exposed to mould and spores. Make sure both indoor and outdoors drains have no seepage and there is adequate air circulation under the house and in all rooms. Bathrooms and laundries should be fitted with strong exhaust fans.Mould grows in warm, damp climates or in rooms that do not get any sunlight. Old houses frequently have problems with mould, particularly in bathrooms. If you have rooms that cannot be made mould-proof, check them regularly for mould growth. Anti-mould solutions may be effective in controlling persistent growth of mould. Cupboards and other storage areas should be well ventilated and cleaned and aired regularly. Mould can grow on plants and in soil, so indoor plants may have to to be avoided.*34\148\2*
