Exacerbation management

Exacerbation management involves recognizing worsening symptoms of a condition and taking steps to control them. It typically includes increasing medications as prescribed, such as inhalers or antibiotics, to reduce inflammation and prevent complications. Rest and avoiding triggers are important, and monitoring symptoms helps determine if additional medical care is needed. Timely intervention can prevent the condition from worsening further, reduce hospital visits, and help restore the individual’s usual level of health and activity. Effective management relies on prompt action, adherence to treatment plans, and communication with healthcare providers.
