Finding the most effective asthma treatment.

Know what asthma treatment is the right one

Let’s imagine that your child has just been diagnosed as having asthma. After the initial shock has passed, the first thing you will have to start thinking about the best possible asthma treatment available. No, that’s the second thing. The first thing you have to do is stop panicking. With the right treatment and armed with the right knowledge, your child will be able to have a normal, happy life with their asthma under control. 

Now, what types of asthma treatment are there? Your doctor will most certainly show you two kinds; relievers and preventers. Everybody who has asthma has to have a reliever. It is the typical inhaler that is becoming extremely popular in most schools. Did I say extremely popular? Make that alarmingly popular. You can tell that asthma is reaching record levels just by the number of reliever inhalers you see at schools these days. As their name suggests, the job of the reliever is to relieve each and every asthma symptom. There are side effects, though. Muscle shakes could occur, or the heart beat could increase. The main ingredients of these relievers is a artificial steriod called Cortisone. Other known side effects are stunted growth, weight gain, and infections are allowed to spread which wouldn't otherwise. In some cases death (the worst side effect) occurs if the medication is stopped very abruptly. Not something you'd want to give your child, now is it?


Preventers are also inhalers but these aren’t so much for attacks but to help to control the swelling and inflammation in the airways. They also make the airways less susceptible to asthma triggers (pollution, for example). They have to be taken every day because the aim of the preventer is to build up a protective effect in the sufferer. You can easily distinguish preventers from relievers by their color. Relievers are blue whereas preventers can be orange, brown or red. Although preventers contain a type of artifical steroid found naturally in the body called Cortisone, your kids are not going to develop huge muscles. It has nothing to do with anabolic steroids. What could occur is that the user might get a small mouth infection which is known as thrush. As well as having the same side effects as the reliever, preventers can also cause catarats, diabetes, and mood swings. All in all these asthma treatments are probably not the best thing for your kids to be taking, but there do exist other free, reliable, and above all safe methods of preventing asthma.
