Chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercises are also beneficial.
Incentive spirometry is also helpful.
Yoga and pranayam is also good.

Do wearing breathing mask is any good? I see lot of people wearing them. But then there are other who don't. Is it beneficial?
Brief Answer:
Inhaler devices are more useful.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Are you talking about nebulisation and mask?
Inhaled drugs in the form of meter dose inhaler (MDI) and dry powder inhaler (DPI) are considered as treatment of choice for asthma.
Nebulisation is indicated in hospitalised patients who are very sick.
Otherwise nebulisation is not routinely used.
MDI s and DPI s are routinely used and they are very safe and highly effective for asthma.
Hope I have solved your query.
