Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease which is incurable. In asthma, the airways remain in the inflamed state and any kind of stimulus can trigger the unwanted symptoms. The muscles become more swollen and tighten the chest which obstructs the airflow passage and causes unwanted symptoms. The only way to deal with this condition is to keep control over the attacks and prevents the clinical symptoms like breathlessness, cough, wheezing and sputum production.

Asthma is not well treated but it is well controlled and this can be achieved by taking proper medication, following doctor’s instructions and staying away from the triggering factors.

The first step in asthma management is to recognize and be wise with your triggering factors. If someone is allergic to traffic fumes, he or she should wear a mask while moving in such crowded areas. Try to avoid in coming contact with the allergic elements that can cause asthma attack. Limit yourself from getting exposed to the environmental allergens such as dust mites, pollen’s and molds.

The second step is to see doctor every 2 to 6 weeks until asthma comes under control. When it is controlled then one can visit a doctor once in a month. This all helps in tracking your asthma symptoms time to time and can also predict the future problems as well.
