Prevention of Asthma

The best method to prevent asthma is to find out what triggered asthma in any of the other family members and then to keep away from those triggers.

 

One should identify the allergens that can likely trigger asthma. Vacuum the carpets and upholstry on a regular basis to eliminate dust mites. A lower humidity level is not conducive to dust mites.

 

If animal dander is a problem, one might have to remove household pets from the living areas.

 

Smoking causes harm to the respiratory system in many ways. Smoke particles from second hand smoking also can trigger asthma. It is best to avoid smoking and second hand smoking as these can trigger asthma very easily.

 

One should always take medication under a doctor's supervision. Some over the counter medicines may cause allergic reaction that can trigger an asthma attack.
