Since there’s no single cause of asthma, there’s no cure for the chronic disease. However, our office has many treatment tools in our arsenal to help you manage your child’s asthma, including:
- Spot medications, such as inhalers
- Long-term medications, such as beta agonists
- Bronchial thermoplasty
The most important steps you can take in controlling and managing your child’s asthma are lifestyle and homefront changes. Our providers will review ways you can control the triggers that bring on your child’s attacks, including:
- Installing an air conditioner
- Maintaining humidity
- Reducing irritants, such as mold and pet dander
- Regular cleaning
- Protecting your child’s airways when it’s cold out
Managing your child’s asthma usually requires a combination approach, which our providers will perform in collaboration with asthma specialists. Under our guidance, you can successfully minimize the impact asthma has on your child’s life.
