Suffering from Asthma? Try Something New

Unfortunately, there is no cure for asthma, even though it is an extremely common condition. According to the CDC, asthma affects around 8.9% of adults in the United States, meaning roughly 1 in 11 adults currently have asthma, while around 6.7% of children under 18 have asthma. However, there are many ways to treat asthma, and finding what works for you will be part of your treatment journey. Keep reading to learn more about asthma treatments, including how you can get exclusive access to the newest investigational asthma treatment in an Asthma Clinical Trial.

Available Treatments for Asthma: Medication

There are many different types of medication you can take if you suffer from asthma. Medical treatments for asthma include:

1. Quick-relief medicines – These medicines work quickly to relieve sudden symptoms. You take them as needed and at the first sign of symptoms.
2. Controller medicines – These medicines help control asthma by correcting the underlying changes in the airways, such as swelling and excess mucus. They can be one or a combination of medicines.
3. Combination of quick-relief and controller medicines – These medicines are used for both short-term relief and control.
4. Biologics—This type of treatment targets a cell or protein to prevent swelling inside the airways. It is given by injection or infusion to people with certain types of persistent asthma.

Lifestyle Changes: Knowing Your Triggers

An important component of asthma is understanding your triggers. Examples of asthma triggers could include:

• Allergens
• Weather
• Exercise
• Foods
• Acid reflux
• Cleaning products
• Carpeting
• Fragrances
• The cold, flu, and other viruses

It can be difficult to avoid your triggers completely; however, knowing what they are can help you manage them once they arise. This is generally a trial-and-error process that can take some time.

Ways you can cut down on your triggers and reduce an asthma flare-up include:

• Keep your pets clean and groomed
• Keep your pets off of furniture
• Vacuum, mop, and dust frequently
• Clean your bathroom and all sink areas to prevent mold or mildew
• Professionally clean or replace your carpet
• Use an air purifier
