Advair is a long acting inhaler that works really well, but you have to take it 2x a day every day for it to build up and start working (it will take a few weeks). Albuterol is for instant relief, not for everyday use. I use both and they work well. Avoid exercising in the cold, it will make your asthma worse.

A question from proudmom: What would be some of the symptoms of asthma in a 8 year old boy?
He’s having headaches, trouble breathing, trouble sleeping, coughing at night. I have brought him to the doctor for this and he says its allergies and prescribed Zyrtec which didn’t help at all. What are the symptoms of asthma, especially in a child?

Answer by essentiallysolo
if the doc listened to the boy’s lungs and didn’t hear any wheezing, he knows it’s not asthma. There are very distinct lung sounds in asthma so you can trust the doc if he said it was allergies. What you may want to do is take him to an allergist and find out what he is allergic to, because if he is constantly exposed to the allergen, no medication is going to do much good.

Lose weight, Exercise, eat a high vegetable diet, and drink coffee. You do of course have to use your asthma medications while using home remedies. Until you start to improve.

Swimming is good. Walking & running are better if you don’t do it first thing in the morning. Allergens are higher in the early morning.

Question by mohamed s: Any recent treatment for chronic severe asthma?
any recent treatment for chronic severe asthma? and what about methotraxate is it effective?
The No 1 answer:
Answer by Matt A
I don’t know methotraxate. I looked it up and it doesn’t appear to be an asthma medication. I could be wrong.
the best non medication treatment for asthma is to learn the asthma triggers and avoid them. Daily monitoring of peak flows with a peak flow meter can help detect the early states of an asthma attack before shortness of breath starts.
If you are unable to identify the triggers or unable to avoid them, a prescription medication is needed. Everyone who has been diagnosed with asthma should have a rescue inhaler with them at all times. If you use your rescue inhaler more then twice per week, you will need a controller medication to help prevent asthma.
The best controller medications are inhaled steroids, If an asthmatic uses their medications properly, monitors there peak flows daily and has a good asthma action plan, he/she can live symptom free.
