Chapter 12 of the Japanese Pediatric Guideline for the Treatment and Management of Asthma 2020 describes the management of asthma in daily life, focusing on school and preschool life, exercise, vaccination, and disaster. If special consideration is required in school, preschool, or extracurricular activities, the instruction table for school life management and cooperation with parents and school is referred for appropriate action. Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is a phenomenon in which wheezing and dyspnea occur temporarily during or after exercise in patient with asthma. The stakeholders should properly understand EIA and cooperate to eradicate EIA from school children. Vaccination can be administered in asthmatic as well as healthy children. When an asthmatic child is planned for general anesthesia or surgery, asthma should be controlled as much as possible, as needed. To prevent unforeseen circumstances such as natural disasters, some action plans should be devised. Brochures are available for use before occurring emergencies.
