What therapy is better for asthma?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Depends: Nearly everyone responds differently to anti-asthma drugs. The most common one used is inhaled steroid which needs to be used regularly. Avoidance of the triggers is the best approach. Consult your allergist for other options since there not one best drug for everybody.
