Dust mites can trigger asthma attacks. Have someone else vacuum your carpets once or twice a week. This cleaning cuts down on house dust and kills dust mites that live in the carpets. You shouldn't go into the room for several hours after the vacuuming is done. If you can, take out the carpeting altogether.
Bare floors are easier to keep clean.
Humidity makes dust mites and mold grow. If you can keep the humidity indoors at less than 50 percent, you'll have less trouble with dust mites and mold. Asthma medicines have to be prescribed for each individual person's needs, because every person with asthma is different. At every office visit, tell your doctor how well your medicine is working. Be sure to tell about all the side effects you have from the medicine.
