Can you cure asthma?

Answer 1

there's no cure.. but you can work around it. my sister had herself desensitized (decrease sensitivity to) about 5 years ago. she was so allergic to dust, she had nebulizer treatments up to about 5 times a day. we brought her to an allergy specialist. they did some tests -- to see where she is mostly allergic to. then every week, she would visit the doctor's office, and he would inject something to her, it's an allergen. the purpose of the injections is to tell her body to recognize this specific allergen so that it wouldn't trigger an asthma attack anymore (eventually). it worked for her.

Answer 2

there is no cure for asthma. it is an auto-immune response to irritation in the respiratory tract. asthma can be well-controlled with daily medications. see your doctor. there are things you can do to prevent asthma attacks.

find out what you're allergic to. almost all people with asthma have allergies, and allergen exposure can trigger an attack.

use a bronchodilator before exercise or activity. this will open the airways so that you can breathe better and stay active. a bronchodilator can be prescribed by your doctor.

avoid dairy products and icy cold beverages. cold constricts the airways, making them tight and more difficult for air to pass. dairy products cause you to secrete more mucous which can clog the airways and cause you to cough or wheeze.

avoid environmental risk factors. humidity and extreme heat or cold, smog, dust, mold, and pollen should be kept to minimum exposure. use the air conditioner at home and in the car. try to keep windows closed. get rid of carpet. no pets with hair if you are allergic to dander. wash bed linens frequently. use mattress covers and pillow covers. spray home and surfaces with Lysol once a week. avoid heavy perfumes and harsh cleansers and chemicals which can irritate the airways.

asthma is often genetic. i have asthma, as well as my brother, many cousins, and both of my children. i learned to manage my asthma so that i could stay active in high school athletics. i have an attack less than once a year and have never had to be hospitalized for asthma.

Answer 3

I have asthma, and there is no cure, only controlling it. When I have a minor asthma attack I pop two altoids mints, because the peppermint extraxt that is used can help open your breathing passages and give fast relief. If you use your inhaler to much your body can build up a resistance to it and make it not effective.

Answer 4

My dad had asthma and he cured him self, well I think i know how... you have to pray to the Lord and ask him for guidance and strength to help you get over it. what i mean by that is that For example, i when i get head achs or migrans or when im hurting. If you dont take medicines your better off cause you suffer through it and next time it comes around you'll feel less pain, and people develop immunities by keeping away from medicines and suckin it up and going on, I'm not saying go hard core right now, you have to build up to it, you can focus on breathing and keep your inhaler near you so after you resist it and tolerate it for as long as you can, or when you reach your limit, take it. Practice thoughts and meditate, many methods work. it is curable

Answer 5

No there is no cure, but you can avoid the triggers as much as possible and minimize the impact of the asthma on your life style.

Working out, eating healthy also helps.

Answer 6

no you cannot cure asthma. you can simply take the proper steps to prevent asthma attacks and control the condition. peak flows are very important devices used to determine air movement. proper preventative measures would definately include knowing your normal peak flow ranges and using a peak flow meter daily to ensure proper air flow. if your peak flow happens to be low you can know before it is too late and take the necessary inhaler/s in order to prevent any further bronchocontriction. Hope this helps. God Bless
