Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma

The Guidelines for Diagnosing and Managing Asthma help ensure proper care. Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing, along with lung tests. Management focuses on controlling symptoms and preventing attacks using inhaled medications, such as inhalers, and avoiding triggers like allergens or smoke. Regular check-ups help adjust treatment as needed. Using a written asthma action plan guides daily management and emergency responses. The goal is to maintain normal activity levels and minimize the risk of severe attacks. Good communication between patients and healthcare providers is essential for effective control and quality of life.
