Is Asthma Permanently Curable And How To Prevent It?
My daughter is 4 year 6 months old and she has started having breathing trouble for last 6 months. She has got severe wheezing problem three times in last 4 months and we have consulted the near by pediatrician who has suggested nebulization with astalin and budecort. Both myside and my wifeside has history of Astama and I have minor breaching issue though I have never got a severe astama attack till now. Given the frequency at which my daughter is getting the wheezing problem and astama attack, we are worried about her education and other activities. We stay in Bangalore-East and looking for a good pulmonologist who can suggest how to control our daughter astama problem. Please suggest how we can control the astama issue of our daugher and whom can we consult(preferably in Bangalore-East). Is Astama permanatly curable or preventable?

Hi
Asthma is preventable. If we avoid allergen responsible for it as it is a allergic responce. Even if we identify the irritant and avoid those we can prevent it.
For permanent cure we need to identify the allergen by sensitization test and by immunotherapy we can cure it.
Asthalin nebulization should be given as required and budecort daily to prevent the occurrence of symptoms. If not controlled then consider adding plain montelukast 4 mg (till 5 years). These will help her.
In bangalore Dr.H Paramesh from lake side is the leading pediatric pulmonologist. You can get help from him.
Hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask if any further queries and I will be glad to answer them.
Regards
