Numerous asthma treatments are available, including medications. Preventive, long-term solutions reduce the inflammation in your airways and provide quick relief. These include inhalers and bronchodilators that quickly open up swollen airways.
There are also long-term asthma control medications that are typically taken daily and keep asthma under control, making asthma attacks less likely.
In some cases, allergy medications can be effective. Your Modern Concepts Medical Group provider may choose multiple asthma treatments for optimal results.
It’s important to seek medical attention for asthma, since if left untreated, and if an asthma attack progresses and becomes more severe, it can be dangerous, or even fatal.
Action plans are particularly useful to map out your medications and treatment and help you manage your asthma.
If you’re aware of your asthma triggers, it’s helpful to stay away from them if possible or undergo immunotherapy, an effective treatment method involving exposure to small, increasing doses of known triggers over time, until your body develops a tolerance and the allergy subsides.
If you know you have, or suspect you might have, asthma, call Modern Concepts Medical Group or book an appointment online to learn more about asthma treatments.
