Asthma: Alexis' Story

The medicine is working if you find, over time, that you're having fewer and fewer symptoms. However, even though your asthma symptoms stop, you should not stop taking your medication. If you do, airway inflammation is prone to recur. 2) Relievers: help in alleviating symptoms immediately. Coughing or wheezing is often treated this way. Weather and atmospheric conditions can affect how easy you breathe so pay attention to forecasts. Living with asthma is much easier when smoke is eliminated from the home and work place, as well. If at all possible, avoid smoke at work and don t allow smoking at all within the home. When living with asthma, it s almost impossible to breathe easy if there s any kind of smoke around. Never treat a child with asthma different to their siblings for fear you will cause an attack as this could cause problems in the family with sibling resentment.

So if you were in any doubt that your elderly relative has had a cold for too long, or they appear extra breathless or wheezy then it would probably be best to get them checked out by their G.P even though they may tell you they are fine. Taking care of the young with asthma will eventually change the trends of the elderly with asthma. The best way to cut down on pet dander is to wash these items in very hot water.

After all, how are you supposed to live with something that won t ever go away? You have to learn how to live with it because it won t ever go away.
