Frequently Asked Questions
Can asthma be cured?
There's no cure, but asthma can be very effectively controlled with consistent use of prescribed inhalers and avoidance of known triggers, allowing most people to live active, symptom-free lives.
Is it safe to exercise with asthma?
Yes, regular exercise is encouraged and generally safe with good asthma control; using a reliever inhaler before activity can help those who experience exercise-triggered symptoms.
Why does air pollution make my asthma worse?
Pollutants irritate and inflame already-sensitive airways, making pollution a major trigger for flare-ups, especially in cities with poor air quality.
Do I need to use my inhaler every day even when I feel fine?
Yes, daily controller inhalers work by preventing inflammation over time, so skipping doses even when symptom-free can lead to worse control and flare-ups.
Can children outgrow asthma?
Some children see significant improvement or resolution of symptoms by adolescence, though others continue to have asthma into adulthood.
