asthma treatment protocols

Asthma treatment involves controlling symptoms and preventing attacks through two main types of medication. "Rescue" inhalers provide quick relief during attacks by relaxing airway muscles. "Maintenance" inhalers contain anti-inflammatory medicines used daily to reduce airway swelling and sensitivity, preventing symptoms. Management also includes avoiding triggers (like allergens and irritants), monitoring lung function, and developing an action plan. Regular check-ups ensure treatment effectiveness and adjustments. Proper inhaler technique is essential. With consistent management, most people can lead active, symptom-free lives, minimizing asthma's impact.
