A member asked:

Are there any remedies i can use at home to control asthma without having to use an inhaler?

Dr. Sue Ferranti answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

No....: Asthma is a disease of the airways that leads to bronchospasm and inflammation of the airways. Treatment includes bronchodilator and, often times, steroid inhalers. There are prescription inhalers that allows good control in the vast majority of asthmatics.
