Hi,
Asthma is due to allergy. The best treatment is to stay away from allergen. SO if not possible and due to frequent attacks controller therapy with inhalational corticosteroids with or without other drugs should be given. If severe acute attack, short acting broncho dilator (inhalation should be given) to prevent acute attack with or without steroid (inhaler or nebulisation). These will help in preventing problem due to asthma.
Regards
