can asthma be cured?

Question

Can allergic asthma ever be totally cured?

Answer 1

No: Very much treatable though.

Answer 2

Not Exactly, but: Asthma can be modified or controlled through proper medical treatment, avoidance of triggers and treatment for allergy. You should expect to be able to participate in any activity that a person without asthma can, as long as your asthma is well-controlled.

Answer 3

Controlled: Asthma is a chronic disease and the aim is to control the symptoms. It is not "cured" but as it is controlled symptoms become less frequent. Always look for triggers in the environment and i your home, as well as seasonal allergic triggers. Infections, scents, changes in weather can all trigger symptoms. Learn about your meds and always follow your action plan.

Answer 4

You don't: Asthma is a chronic condition of increased small airway reactions. There are genetic and environmental factors that persist throughout life, usually becoming evident in childhood. One learns to live with their asthma & present medications offer a near normal existence to most. There is no cure, there are programs that promote stability & reduced flare ups through early recognition of problems.

Answer 5

Not likely: Asthma is a chronic condition that can be controlled but not cured. Though you may experience years without an attack, it can recur. If you are being treated now with controller and rescue inhalers, don;t stop on your own. Your physician is bested qualified to make adjustments in your treatment. Good luck.

Answer 6

No: Asthma is a genetically linked problem that leads to changes in the natural mechanisms in the lung. Much of the wheezing in small children is not asthma and will be outgrown by late childhood. True asthma varies in its impact on many and can be very mild or very bad.Even those who have been off meds for years and without wheezing events can become symptomatic under the proper circumstances.

Answer 7

Asthma: There is no "cure", but preventative care is crucial for you to improve. If the asthma is bad enough, you need daily meds to try and prevent you from having any further asthma attacks. Also, if there are any allergy triggers, avoiding that can help tremendously. Avoid smoking too will help.

Answer 8

NoCureControl&Treat: There is no cure for Asthma and if anybody claims natural cure for Asthma that claim is not true as it is by practitioners of Alternative Medicine Asthma can be controlled with controller medicines and inhalers and will sometime go in remission for years and present again later in life Acute attcks can be prevented by avoiding triggers like House Dust mite,other allergens and Cigarette Smoke etc

Answer 9

Unfortunately there: Is no cure, per se. But if you understand your triggers and work with your doctors in regards to a maintenance regimen, you can significantly prevent it from affecting your lifestyle.

Answer 10

Lifestyle change: Avoid all milk products since the milk protein causes respiratory tract inflammation. Also avoid grains, lentils. Consume veggies, flesh foods, olive oil. Getting 30 -45 min of sunshine at noon daily or taking vitamin D3 10,000 IU/day and taking a good probiotic (not yogurt) help reduce inflammation Yoga breathing exercises 10-30 min/day help too. This may help avoid the need for meds

Answer 11

Asthma Inhalers: Asthma can affect people to a varying degree for their whole life, although many children grow out of it. Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms during a flare & preventing how often the symptoms occur. Broadly, there are 2 types of inhalers: Relievers (usually blue in colour) and Preventers (orange, purple, red, brown or green). More info? See 'Asthma Relievers' or 'Asthma Preventers'

Answer 12

Absolutely!!: Can be done. First, confirm asthma, assess severity via history, examination and lung function testing. Identify and avoid triggers and allergens. Identify and manage comorbidities such as obesity, sinus disease, allergies, acid reflux; stop smoking. Establish relationship with a responsive asthma specialist, be compliant with medication, monitor for response and side effects. Voila!

Answer 13

You don't: Asthma is a chronic condition of increased small airway reactions. There are genetic and environmental factors that persist throughout life, usually becoming evident in childhood. One learns to live with their asthma & present medications offer a near normal existence to most. There is no cure, there are programs that promote stability & reduced flare ups through early recognition of problems.
