Hi and thanks for the query,
Treatment for asthma is in steps and depends on the intensity and peculiar response to particular drugs. Some persons respond to some drugs more than others. Bronchodilators remain important to all asthmatics for emergency situation (Ventoline). Oral bronchodilators and steroids could then be used. If they fail, drugs to be used for a long term period like steroid inhaling agents are need and could even be taken for up to a year to obtain complete crises control in some persons.
Unfortunately, asthma runs in families. It might be difficult to stop transmitting asthma to kids. Early investigation, evaluation, diagnosis and appropriate treatment remain key goal in asthma care, especially for the kids. Kind regards
