Hello,

Thank you for writing to us,

I would like to give information in detail here.

Once diagnosed bronchial,

your health care provider will recommend asthma medication (which can include asthma inhalers and pills) and lifestyle changes to treat and prevent asthma attacks.

For example, long-acting anti-inflammatory asthma inhalers are often necessary to treat the inflammation associated with asthma.

These inhalers deliver low doses of steroids to the lungs with minimal side effects if used properly.

The fast-acting or "rescue" bronchodilator inhaler works immediately on opening airways during an asthma attack.

If you have bronchial asthma, make sure your health care provider shows you how to use the inhalers properly.

Be sure to keep your rescue inhaler with you in case of an asthma attack or asthma emergency.
While there is no asthma cure yet, there are excellent asthma medications that can help with preventing asthma symptoms.
Asthma support groups are also available to help you better cope with your asthma.

Hope above information will helpful for you,

Good luck.

Thanks & Regards,
Dr. Gaurav Prajapati.
