Asthma Control
Asthma control refers to the management of asthma symptoms to ensure that individuals can lead a normal, active life. It involves using medications, such as inhalers, and avoiding triggers like pollen, dust mites, and smoke. Regular monitoring of symptoms and lung function is essential for effective control.
Good asthma control means fewer symptoms, less reliance on rescue medications, and fewer emergency visits. It is important for individuals to work with their healthcare providers to create a personalized asthma action plan, which outlines daily management strategies and steps to take during an asthma attack.
