Ways to Prevent Asthma
If you know that you or your family member has asthma you should
know what sets the asthma off. Sometimes avoiding these things
can prevent asthma attacks for starting. Just by following these
few steps can cut back on your asthma from flaring up. 1. Place
dust free covers on pillows and mattresses to cut back on
allergies kicking in while sleeping. 2. Purchase vent filters
for each vent in your home. It will cut back on air borne
particles that can get asthma irritated. If you can't get the
whole home at least get the room the asthma patient sleeps in.
3. If you have carpet in your home it will help tremendously if
you replace it with hard wood floors or vinyl flooring. Again if
it is not possible to do the whole house at least do the asthma
patients room. 4. It is a good idea to have a nebulizer at home
with steroid medication and having an inhaler with the asthma
patient at all times 5. Talk to your doctor about putting you on
an everyday asthma prevention medication. Some popular brands
that are out there are: Singular, Allegra, and Zyrtec. These are
just a few that you can ask your doctor about. 6. Most important
is having an Asthma Action Plan just in case the asthma was to
get out of hand by something that you are not aware of. A plan
of action allows you to know exactly what to do. It will cut
back on panic modes. These are just a few things that you can do
to help prevent your asthma from getting out of hand. These few
steps have saved my family a few emergency room visits. These
are from my experience only. You should contact your doctor for
the right plan for you and your family.
