help with asthma condition

Simple things you can do to avoid asthma triggers are:

  • Protect yourself against dust mites;
  • Wash all bedding in hot water at least twice per month;
  • Change filters on heaters and air conditioners at least once per year;
  • If you cannot get rid of your carpets, vacuum them often with a multi-layer, allergen-proof vacuum bag;
  • Dust often and everywhere, including lampshades, walls and windowsills with a damp cloth;
  • Store toys and books in closed bookshelves, drawers, or closets;
  • Put all clothing in drawers and closets, and keep them closed;
  • Cover air ducts with filters or cheesecloth. Change them frequently;
  • Do not use pillows and bedding made with feathers;
  • Clean bathrooms regularly with products that kill and prevent mold. Use exhaust fans to vent steam after a hot shower;
  • Avoid perfumes and cosmetics with strong fragrances (hair shampoos, conditioners, body lotions etc);
  • Get flu shots to prevent chest infections;

The goal of asthma treatment is to keep you as symptom-free as possible.

This includes being able to engage in normal activities, keeping the use of rescue medications down (less than 4 doses per week), having daytime symptoms less than 4 days per week, and reducing episodes of worsening asthma.
This goal can be reached by most people with asthma by learning how to avoid asthma triggers.
