Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease which cannot be cured. Young children suffering from asthma can outgrow it but some children might outgrow the disease and may have it appearing again sometime during their adulthood.
Asthma is treated with two types of medicines: long-term control and quick-relief medicines. Long-term control medicines help reduce airway inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms. Quick-relief, or rescue, medicines relieve asthma symptoms that may flare up.our peak flow meter can help warn you of an asthma attack, even before you notice symptoms. If your score shows that your breathing is getting worse, you should take your quick-relief medicines the way your asthma action plan directs. Then you can use the peak flow meter to check how well the medicine worked.
