Asthma management: Aggressive asthma management in the childhood years can help prevent remodeling in the lungs, which is a major predictor of continued adulthood asthma. Prompt recognition of symptoms and use of the rescue medication albuterol is key. Inhaled steroids are often used in people with frequent albuterol needs, to stabilize the lungs and reduce flare ups.
