How We Treat It
Our physician evaluates your symptom frequency, triggers, and current medications. Treatment may include rescue inhalers (albuterol), controller inhalers (inhaled corticosteroids), oral medications, or adjustments to your existing regimen. We provide asthma action plans and follow-up guidance.
When to Seek Emergency Care
Seek immediate emergency care for severe breathing difficulty, blue lips or fingernails, rescue inhaler not providing relief, inability to speak in full sentences due to breathing, or rapid worsening of symptoms.
