Accepted Answer

See below: Avoidance of triggers, and if you need prescription medicine, bronchodilators such as albuterol for rescue (when you get symptoms) and if that is not enough, maintenance medicine such as an inhaled steroid. There are more options available if your asthma is more severe.

Question 3

what is better treatment for asthma?

Accepted Answer

Asthma: Depending on the severity of asthma, different types of medications can be prescribed and inhalers are the mainstay of treatment. If you have allergies, consider allergen immunotherapy. See an allergist for best advice.

Question 4

what is the best treatment for asthma?

Accepted Answer

Whatever tx works: Usually asthma is defined as controlled with a less than twice a week usage of a rescue inhaler like albuterol. If using more often than this in a week would likely require a controlling cortisone inhaler like Qvar or perhaps -- check with the doctor who is treating your asthma.

Question 5

what is the proper treatment of asthma?

Accepted Answer

Control: Managing asthma is about "control".  Most patient's will be on an inhaled steroid medication to control the inflammation in the airways.  If this isn't enough, additional medications can be used.  Airway dilator medications are used frequently.  There are both long-acting and short-acting versions of these.  Once patients' symptoms are controlled for several months,  we can sometimes cut back meds.

Question 6

what are the best treatments for asthma?

Accepted Answer

Several medications: Bronchodilators such as albuterol (Ventolin, Proventil) or Xopenex (levalbuterol) enlarge the diameter of the airways to help air flow and mucus come out of the lungs. Patients with cough-variant asthma, exercise-induced asthma, or regular asthma also use steroid inhalers (such as Flovent) to reduce swelling, mucus, and "sensitivity" in the airways. Singulair is another medication that can help.

Question 7

what is the treatment of  sever asthma ?

Accepted Answer

In severe asthma other more potent anti - inflammatory medications could be used as well. Xolair can be considered in some cases as well.

Question 9

what are the treatment options for asthma?

Accepted Answer

Numerous options: Over the last 25 years of my practice, I have witnessed a sea change in treatment options for asthma. I no longer have had to rely on daily systemic steroids. New generations of inhaled steroids, bronchial tube dilators, non-steroid anti-inflammatory medications, and anti-allergic antibody injections. Many other exciting prospects are in the pipeline!

Question 10

what are some alternative asthma treatments?

Accepted Answer

See below: There are a huge number of off label drugs and other therapies that have been tried for asthma as well a a large number of herbal medicines that have been studied and are presently being looked at.  The topic is too large to discuss here.  I would suggest seeing you doctor to discuss this in more depth.
