Asthma treatment guidelines

Asthma treatment guidelines focus on managing asthma symptoms and preventing attacks. They recommend using two main types of medications: quick-relief inhalers for sudden symptoms and long-term control medications to reduce inflammation and prevent symptoms. Patients should create an asthma action plan with their doctor, which outlines daily management and steps to take during an asthma attack. Regular follow-ups are essential to adjust treatment as needed. Additionally, avoiding triggers, such as allergens and smoke, can help control asthma. Education on proper inhaler use is also crucial for effective management.
