Daily Management:

  • Use preventer inhaler and other prescribed medications daily, including oral steroids if recommended.
  • Carry reliever inhaler (blue) at all times for quick symptom relief.

  • Monitor symptoms closely with an asthma diary or app, noting any changes.

When Symptoms Occur:

  • If no improvement after this, seek urgent medical help.

Emergency Plan:

  • If breathing is difficult or symptoms worsen rapidly, use your inhaler, follow multi-dosing if needed, and call emergency services immediately.
  • Follow your doctor’s guidance on using oral steroids for severe flare-ups.

Healthy Habits:

  • Quit smoking, manage stress, and stay active with your healthcare provider’s guidance.
