Suggest Treatment For Asthma
Hi, I am a 19 year old female with severe asthma that has moved away from an environment with smokers. I am not a smoker and live with a nonsmoker and am wondering if it is likely to go away? It has effected my life greatly and changed my decisions since I got diagnoised at age 10. It comes on with exercise, cold air, and chemicals, along with just being random. Is there hope?

Hello
Since you are a known case of asthma and just 19 years old young female but need not to despair , following measures may help you, these include.
Indoor allergens are:
Dust, mites, animal allergens , pests ( cockroaches ) , fungi.
Out door allergens are ;
Hay , fodder , smoking ( smokes ) , fine dusting powder, sudden increase or decrease in temperature, cold clammy environment .
-Wash all bed covers in hot cycle ( 60 degree C ) every week.
-Treat carpets w/acaricides /tannicn acid.
-Clean upholstered furniture thoroughly or replace with leather furniture.
-Keep dust accumulating objects in dust cupboard.
-Hot wash/ freeze soft toy.
-Use vacuum cleaner
-Encase mattress , pillow & quilt in impermeable covers.
-Keep pets out of the living rooms.
-Install air conditioner or dehumidifier .
-Eliminate suitable environment for cockroaches .
When an asthmatic patient visit my clinic I advise them to take monteleukast+ bambuterol tablet once or twice in day till complete improvement.
When no symptoms don't take medicine , when symptoms take this tablet as mentioned.
Steam inhalation and hot coffee also provide relief.
Hope this will be helpful for you.
