Avoiding stimuli such as secondhand smoke, pollutants, and cold air is an effective nonpharmacologic measure to manage moderate persistent asthma. Limiting protein intake and food with red and yellow dyes may help in managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms but is not effective for asthma management. Keeping the child's immunizations up-to-date and wearing a face mask in public and limiting the child's contact with other children may help in reducing the risk of infection but do not directly address asthma symptoms.
