With wildfire smoke in the area, what can i do to prevent my asthma from flaring up?

Few things: First thing is to try and get out of the area. If not possible, using a mask or a cloth to cover nose and mouth is key. Having inhalers with you also is vital. Albuterol or ipratropium is helpful. Use air filter if u have access to one

Stay indoors: 1. Stay indoors as much as possible and keep air clean inside (would keep air purifier with HEPA filter indoors if possible). 2. If air quality worsens drastically, keep mask on. 3. Make sure to take all your meds especially - airway inhalers 4. If you feel the slightest signs of asthma coming, start prednisone tabs, especially if you think you are stuck in the area where you sense smoke.

Pollution: You must avoid inhaling smoke or particles in any way you can such as staying indoors and/or wearing a mask. You may have to actually leave the area and go check into a hotel if necessary until your surroundings are all clear. Of course you must be prepared to use your asthmatic medications and inhalers as needed and consult your pulmonologist also as needed.
