In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Asthma management in an allergy and immunology practice focuses on achieving and maintaining control of symptoms through a multi-faceted strategy tailored to each patient's severity and triggers. Treatment typically includes controller medications such as inhaled corticosteroids taken daily to reduce airway inflammation, along with rescue inhalers containing short-acting bronchodilators for acute symptom relief. Allergists work with patients to identify and minimize exposure to allergens and irritants that trigger asthma symptoms, including pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander, and tobacco smoke. An asthma action plan is developed for each patient, outlining daily management steps, how to recognize worsening symptoms, and when to seek emergency care. For patients with moderate-to-severe allergic asthma, biologic therapies targeting specific immune pathways may be recommended when standard treatments are insufficient.
