Asthma Treatment: Managing Asthma
Asthma is an incurable disease, but it can be controlled with proper medication and treatment or asthma management.
Environmental control is the first step in asthma management. Cleaning the house would be one way of controlling our environment, always remember to wear a mask if you’re cleaning by yourself. We can also try to avoid pets that have fur and feathers. Another means would be by wash the sheets, pillow case, and mattress pads every week in hot water or using dust proof covers to encase your pillows and box springs or even using synthetic materials for your bedding. Another way to avoid asthma attacks is by refraining to use carpets on your floors. And in addition to the use of air conditioner, lowering the house’s humidity by using a humidifier can be a very big help.
Monitoring lung function using a peak flow meter is the second step for asthma management. Before the symptoms of an asthma attack, lung function decreases usually about two to three days prior to the attack. Asthma attack can be detected through lung monitor if the meter indicates the peak flow is down by 20% or more from your usual best efforts.
The third step for asthma management is medication. Bronchodilators and corticosteroids or anti-inflammatories are the two major groups of medications used for controlling asthma.
Anti inflammatory drugs reduces the number of inflammatory cells in the airways and prevent blood vessels from excreting fluid into the airway tissues. It reduces the spontaneous spasm of the airway muscle thereby reducing the inflammation. It is also used as a preventive measure to lessen the risk of asthma attacks getting worse.
A class of anti-inflammatory drugs called leukotriene inhibitors such as zafirlukast (Accolate) and zileuton (Zyflo) are taken orally and work by inhibiting fatty acids that mediate inflammation (leukotriene) from binding to smooth muscle cells in the lining of the airways. These drugs are intended for long-term use, because they prevent rather instead of reducing the symptoms of asthma.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are also available such as cromolyn sodium (Intal) and neudocromil (Tilade). However Corticosteroids for asthma medications can be taken either inhaled via metered dose inhaler (MDI) or orally.
Bronchodilators help us by easing the flow of gasses to and from the lungs and by increasing the air passages. The two types of bronchodilators are short-acting and long-acting. To relieve symptoms during heightened asthma attacks, short-acting bronchodilators are used. While long-acting bronchodilators are sometimes used to control symptoms in special circumstances, such as during sleep or when intensive exposure to a particular trigger can be predicted.
These are just a few of the many methods which you can take in order to control, prevent and eventually eradicate asthma attacks. Though, it's always recommended to ask your doctor for appropriate steps to take.
