Inhaled steroids: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the standard therapy for asthma and are quite effective in most cases. Someone with only intermittent symptoms may not need ics.

Environmentally: Often asthma is related to the individual's allergies. The most common are animal dander (cats and dogs) dust mites pollution , etc. Covering mattresses, removing rugs/carpeting and using vinyl or leather chairs/sofas can be a very good start. Air conditioners with HEPA filters should discussed. Talk to your physician about anything else that may be helpful. Good Luck
