Tips on Treating Asthma Attacks

Tips

 * Symptoms of asthma, such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath or chest tightness, are reversible with inhaled medications. In some cases, the symptoms reverse on their own.
 * If you have been treating your asthma attack and it is mild, but not getting better, see your doctor to help prevent it from getting worse. He or she may prescribe oral steroids to help stop the attack.
 * If you follow your action plan as soon as you start to have symptoms, you can often avoid it becoming a severe attack.
 * Make sure your inhaler and any other medications you take for asthma are not expired or run out. Call your doctor if you need a refill before you run out if possible
