Severe Asthma Management

Severe asthma management involves a comprehensive approach to control breathing difficulties caused by inflammation and narrowing of the airways. Patients typically use daily inhalers containing corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and long-acting bronchodilators to keep airways open. Regular monitoring of symptoms and triggers is essential, alongside avoiding allergens and irritants. Some may benefit from biologic therapies that target specific pathways involved in asthma. Working closely with healthcare providers to create a personalized action plan is crucial for preventing severe attacks and enhancing overall quality of life. Emergency plans for sudden asthma attacks are also vital.
