Controller + rescue: The best available treatment for asthma is regular use of anti-inflammatory medications to control the root cause of asthma - increased airway inflammation. For relief of acute symptoms, quick relief meds such as albuterol can be used. Treatment plan can be adjusted based on severity, lung function, age of patient, ease of use of different forms of meds etc. Talk to asthma specialist for details.
