How is Asthma Treated?
Asthma is treated by avoiding your triggers and using medications. Medications include long-term control medications, sometimes called "preventive medicines," and quick-relief medications, sometimes called "rescue medicines." The long-term medications are used every day. The quick-relief medications are used as needed. These treatments are used to control asthma and help you live a normal, active life.
To control asthma, you will have to work out an asthma plan with your provider that includes:
- Treating symptoms early
- Doing the right things for any changes in symptoms
- Knowing when you need a provider's help and seeking help without delaying
