How is allergic asthma treated?

Allergic asthma is characterized by asthma symptoms that occur when you are exposed to triggers. Treatment options include avoiding allergens, adjusting medications, and managing symptoms. Common approaches to treating allergic asthma include:

1. Allergen Avoidance: You may have an allergy test to identify and avoid allergens that trigger your asthma. For example, if you are allergic to dust mites, pollen, or pets, it is important to avoid them.

2. Inhaled Medications:

• Corticosteroid Inhalers: These medications work directly on the lungs, reducing inflammation.
• Bronchodilator Inhalers: These widen the airways, making it easier to breathe.

3. Oral Medications:

• Leukotriene Modifiers: These medications reduce inflammation and bronchial constriction.
• Corticosteroid Tablets: Used in severe asthma attacks, but long-term use is not recommended.

4. Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy): In some cases, allergy shots can be administered to help the body develop tolerance to the allergen.

5. Lifestyle Changes and Precautions: Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and keeping stress under control can also help manage asthma.

In addition to these recommendations, I need the answers to the following questions to better understand your medical history (anamnesis):

• How long have your asthma symptoms been going on?
• Do your symptoms occur with a specific trigger or situation?
• Have you tried any treatments before? If yes, what did you use?
• Have allergy tests been performed? If so, what substances were determined to be allergic?

Sharing this information will allow me to make more personalized recommendations. However, you should definitely consult a health professional for any health issues you may have.

Now, let's determine the relevant branch.
