Treatment of asthma relies on four principles, according to Bachman. Education of parents, children, and teachers is first. Parents need to be aware of warning signs and the proper procedure to go through when child experiences an attack. Teachers also need to know this information. Adults around the child who know what they are doing and are calm about the situation, makes the child more at ease and less panicky.
Drug therapy helps to open restricted airways and reduce inflammation.
If cases are severe enough, daily monitoring of lung functions is necessary. Lastly, change the environment by cleaning, dusting, and washing more often to eliminate allergens. Allergy symptoms are triggered by a number of things. Some of the categories they fall into are inhalants, ingestants, injectant, contactant, and infectants. Inhalants are more common sources of allergy symptoms.
