Asthma caused by allergy or allergic asthma is a medical condition that cannot be cured, but one can keep the attacks under control.
There are two types of treatments for this type of asthma, the first being the reliever and the second, preventive medication.
The reliever medication acts fast and is used during the attacks while the preventive medication is taken occasionally in order to prevent the attacks.
In order to prevent asthma induced by allergy, it is crucial to identify the root cause first, i.
e.
to figure out the responsible allergen.
This task is easier said than done because there are umpteen different kinds of things that we might not even be aware of but it causes the attacks in us.
Hence it is imperative to be aware of your immediate environment as well as your personal well-being.
Try to figure out when the symptoms are severe and the time of such attacks, whether in the morning, evening or night.
If it occurs mostly at night then the culprit could be the allergens located in your bedroom like dust mites on your bed.
Similarly if your allergic asthma occurs mostly during the day then the culprit could be in your office when you are at work or at home.
Sometimes work related asthma attacks can be triggered by stress, pollution of the workplace like pollen, dust, allergens, etc.
Workplaces such as timber factories or construction sites are most likely to trigger such attacks because there is an abundance of irritants, dusts and allergens in such workplaces.
So in order to prevent such attacks, one should identify the causes first and then do whatever is possible to avoid the causes so that there won't be another attack.
This way you can prevent it and enjoy your life without having to worry about your allergic asthma.
