What to do for night time asthma control?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Medicine + clean air: People with cough-variant asthma or night-time asthma can use steroid inhalers (such as flovent) to reduce swelling, mucus, and "sensitivity" in the airways. Bronchodilators such as albuterol or xopenex (levalbuterol) enlarge the diameter of the airways to help air flow and mucus come out of the lungs. Singulair chewables are another preventive medicine. A hepa air filter and dustproof/pollenproof bedding helps.
