If a friend at school gave my daughter prescription meds

107. Yes, but you are an adult.

I grew up with Asthma in the 70s. And back then, the emergency "treatment" was "stay still, remain calm, and breathe shallow and slowly".

Many kids with Asthma today (like one of my daughters) has been TRAINED to identify the onset of an attack. They do so because if you reach the point where you can not breathe, they know they also can't talk. And so, in a sense, they are trained to be "proactive" with regards to their own medical condition.

I'm still waiting to hear what actual issue the other child had in this situation. The known side effects for most inhalers are very minor. And so I wonder how much of the "distress" in this situation was unavoidable. That is, did the use of the inhaler make things worse, or actually have no effect at all. Which would leave the original medical issue as the true problem.

I've yet to see a report that describes what the original medical issue was.
