Asthma is a condition that affects the respiratory system and causes mild to severe breathlessness. The cells of our immune system cause a reaction that alters the airway structure, resulting in the patient coughing and wheezing. It can be life-threatening if left untreated for a long time. At present, its causes are unknown, but it has been seen that factors like pollution, heredity, and allergies play an important role.
The most prominent symptom of asthma is difficulty breathing. The other signs include:
Conditions We Treat
If your asthma is triggered by allergies, which can be seasonal like pollens, food like peanuts, or any other such as cat hairs, regularly taking allergy shots can help relieve the symptoms. Allergy shots help to reduce sensitivity to allergens ensuring you don’t suffer even when you come in contact with the said allergens.
Steroids are necessary to reduce inflammations and are often the most common medications for asthma attacks. Usually, inhalers are preferred since they help reduce the symptoms faster. However, if your asthma is mild, you may be prescribed oral steroids.
The medications to relax the muscles around the airways are called bronchodilators and are prescribed by specialists to treat severe asthma. Bronchodilators relax the airways to make breathing easier while helping mucous move easily. These are emergency medications given to relieve symptoms instantly if you have severe asthma attacks.
