Asthma Treatment

  • Description
Description

It is a chronic respiratory disease that makes the lungs’ airways narrow and tight. This narrow passage makes it difficult for an individual to breathe. Asthma treatment involves managing symptoms with inhalers, medications, and lifestyle changes to improve breathing and prevent asthma attacks. If it is not treated well, then this may lead to serious consequences. According to a WHO report, more than 2 lakh people are experiencing bronchial asthma. It can be treated by knowing its types and severity.

Types of Asthma

There are some common types of asthma that can be developed in various ways. It is classified into the following types:

  • Exercise-Induced Asthma: While engaging in physical activity can cause this type of asthma.
  • Occupational Asthma: Dust, gas, fumes, etc, trigger while working in the workplace.
  • Allergic Asthma: It is triggered after getting exposed to allergic substances, like pollen.
  • Non-Allergic Asthma: It does not trigger by allergens, it may include infection, stress, hormone, etc.
  • Adult-Onset Asthma: Its symptoms appear only in adulthood.
  • Overlap Syndrome of Asthma and COPD: It is a lung condition that causes the blockage of the airways. It shows the symptoms of both asthma and COPD.

Types of Asthma Treatment

Asthma treatment can be categorized into the following types:

Bronchial Thermoplasty 

When other treatments are not effective then it is advised by a doctor. A healthcare provider will check airways by inserting a bronchoscope from the mouth. To prevent narrowing airways, heat will be applied to the muscles. 

  • Long-term Control Medications: Your doctor will prescribe some drugs that will help to control and prevent asthma. It includes biological medicines, allergy shots, inhaled mast cell stabilizer to prevent swelling in the airways, steroid hormone medication, biologics to prevent inflammation, leukotriene modifiers relax the smooth muscle of airways and reduce swelling.
  • Quick-Relief Medicines: To prevent an asthma attack, there are fast-relieving medicines to prevent mild asthma. Such as oral corticosteroids to minimize swelling, short-acting anticholinergics to open up airways more quickly, and short-acting beta2-agonists (inhaler).
  • Changes in Lifestyle: Triggers to asthma can avoid smoke, smoking, allergic substances, passive smoking, and chemicals. Adapt physical activity like yoga, exercise, reduce weight, and improve quality of life can help to control and prevent asthma.
  • Self-care: People should be aware and educate themselves and their families about asthma’s symptoms, treatment, and its management. A good action plan is required to control it.
  • Other Treatments: Apart from above treatment, there are other options, like surgery and injection. However, these two are rarely required to treat asthma.
