Is There Any Permanent Treatment For Asthma?

Hi, I am 28 years old, and suffering from Asthma from past 23 years. I have been taking Salbutamol inhalers for 10 years, then took Aerocort & Seroflow for 3 years. But 2 years back, my doctor suggested me to take Formonide-400 inhaler. I take Formonide-400 daily 2puffs dose.

Would you kindly let me know, if there is some permanent treatment available for Asthma? What are the side effects of taking so many inhalers on a daily basis? How can i lead a normal healthy life?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you know the triggers for your asthma , then avoiding or treating them would reduce your acute asthmatic episodes.
The most common triggers are: common cold, post nasal drip due to sinusitis, GERD, exercise, excess emotion, environmental allergens (dust, pollen).

Treatment of asthma involves: (1)avoiding triggers
(2)using preventer inhalors as prescribed
(3)using relievers when needed

There is no cure at present.

I hope this helps
