Asthma: Not all asthma is allergy related. If you have nasal allergies, you may develop asthma. Asthma is also related to other factors such as pollution, infections. Etc. It is usually treated with inhalers that control the inflammation in the airways.

If: Asthma is due to allergies you can start by avoiding the specific allergens, take an allergy medication such as an anti histamine or a prostaglandin inhibitor, injectable anti ige medication, regular asthma medications and sometimes steroids.

Minor contribution: Asthma is a structural problem with a normal protective mechanism in your small airways. They are designed to close off if triggered by noxious agents to protect the sensitive lung tissue & reopen when the agent is gone. In asthma, you close off easily but re-open less so. Allergies are thought to be about 5-10% of the triggers & avoiding them can help, but the disease is more complex.
