Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

See specialist: Asthma can be severe and even life threatening. Frequently patients underestimate the degree of severity of asthma. It's reassuring that he has a person who cares deeply about his health. An asthma specialist (allergist or pulmonologist) is specifically trained to develop a treatment plan including avoiding asthma triggers, medications and possibly allergy shots to control asthma. Don't delay!
