Asthma Treatment: 4 Tips to get Instant Relief

An Overview of Asthma

Asthma or bronchial asthma is a lung condition where the lung airways become constricted, swollen, and mucus clogged. The symptoms can be treated with medication. After diagnosing asthma, the doctor will inform you that it is a chronic condition, which means the condition requires ongoing medical care. Asthma is incurable. Some asthmatic children may overcome their condition by the time they become adults. For many, though, asthma is a chronic illness.

Treatment for Asthma

  • Reliever inhalers: Inhalers can assist with symptom relief when they arise. Doctors will prescribe most asthma patients with a relief inhaler. They can alleviate your symptoms in a short while.
  • Preventer inhalers: The inhalers stop symptoms from developing. You take a preventer inhaler daily to reduce the inflammation and sensitivity of your airways. Thus, they prevent the symptoms from being triggered. If your asthma is severe, you could require the additional support of tablets and other therapies. Typically, you your doctor will collaborate with you to develop a customised action plan to manage your symptoms.
  • Combination inhalers: When both, reliever and preventer inhalers fail to control your asthma, you may require a combination inhaler. Daily usage of combination inhalers helps prevent symptoms and provides long-lasting relief if they do develop. Even if you do not have symptoms, it is necessary to use it periodically.

Other methods to help manage your asthma are anti-inflammatory drugs and oral tablets to minimise airway swelling and mucous and make breathing easier. Also, biologic medicines can also be used for severe asthma when inhaler therapy fails.

Breathe easier

Although there is no treatment for asthma, you can keep it under control and prevent attacks. Research has established that incorporating a whole food plant-based diet have benefitted people with asthma. The food choices help with asthma symptoms because it helps fight inflammation in your body and improves asthma control.
