Mild Asthma Attack
Asthma is a common respiratory illness affecting millions of children and adults each year. The symptoms of asthma include:
- Wheezing
- Feeling short of breath
- Frequent coughing
- Difficulty breathing
- Chest tightness
- Breathing faster than usual
These symptoms are usually caused by constriction of the smaller airways, airway inflammation, and mucous build up in the airways.
Asthma can be controlled with medication but unfortunately there is no cure for asthma. The treatment goals include living an active, normal life and preventing chronic long-term symptoms from asthma. The two main therapies for asthma control include bronchodilators and anti-inflammatories.
We will evaluate your asthma symptoms and prescribe the treatments necessary to control your current asthma symptoms. Additionally, we have a nebulizer treatment available in-office so that you can walk out feeling better. We may also prescribe medication to prevent future asthma attacks that would otherwise require urgent visits to the doctor, emergency room, or hospital.
