Hello dear,

Asthma is caused due to broncho-constriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages.

Management consists of:

1. Inhalers- provide symptomatic relief by causing broncho-dilation (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)
So, you can use it whenever you are having an acute attack.

2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies & asthma.

3. Antihistamines can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.

4. Protect yourself from exposure to cold, dust or other allergens.

If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Pulmonologist.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks & take care.

Hello

Dear patient, asthama contol needs proper dose optimisation of the drugs you are using, if not controlled with that then systemic steroid adminstration may be required, so you consult your pulmonologist who will access the severity of your problem and will then do the necessary optimisation of the dose of your drugs as well as will access if you require systemic steroids
Wish you get well soon
