Asthma treatment is based on managing symptoms with medication and avoiding known triggering factors. Key medications include inhaled corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation in the bronchi, and if necessary, fast-acting bronchodilators to relieve symptoms. The asthma treatment plan is individual and may also include long-acting bronchodilators and other medications. Regular doctor visits and monitoring one’s own condition are important in managing asthma.
