What is the treatment for asthma and its cure?

No cure: Treatment consists of keeping the airways open. This is achieved by reducing inflammation in the lining of the airways, as well as relaxing the muscles around the airways. This is done using different medicines at various doses depending on the level and persistence of the airway compromise.

No but: We can modify asthma with medications and in the case of allergic asthma the immune triggers for it but it cannot be cured. The usual medications for persistent asthma (symptoms> twice a week) include inhaled steroid, inhaled long-acting bronchodilator, leukotriene modifiers (singulair). In more sever cases, xolair (a designer antibody to bind the allergy antibodies. And don't forget allergy shots.
