It has been discovered, for example, that within the small intestine is a parasite round, which you may be able to cure people who have asthma.

There are various asthma medications that can be used alone or in combination with others.
There are quick relief medications that are used when a crisis occurs or asthma episode in order to obtain rapid relief although short-term. These include various bronchodilators (drugs that open airways) fast-acting. Usually these are supplied in small inhalers that the person can carry. There are attachments for the use of young children or elderly who may have difficulty using an inhaler. There are also sprays that vaporize the dose of medicine by creating a mist that the patient inhales continuously.
There are also medications long-term control. These are used continuously to control chronic symptoms and prevent asthma episodes. These include inhaled glucocorticoids. These are anti-inflammatory drugs are considered the most effective. Inhaled glucocorticoids help reduce the frequency of asthma episodes and reduce the dose of other drugs used to relieve symptoms. Because they travel directly into the airways is a risk of side effects is greatly reduced. Can still cause some problems such as thrush in the mouth and pharynx, atrophy of the muscles of the larynx which causes speech problems caused by irritation and coughing. Using low doses or a holding chamber are reduced these effects. Inhaled glucocorticoids may also affect the growth of some children. In addition there may be a slight increased risk of skin bruising and it becomes thin and susceptible to damage. The use of spacer is recommended as well as mouthwash and gargle after throwing water used. This reduces the amount of glucocorticoid that can be swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system. It also reduces the possibility of infections such as candidiasis already mentioned and the irritation of the mouth and throat.

Asthma is a serious chronic disease in which the bronchi, which are the main ducts of the lung is narrowed or blocked because of inflammation. This inflammation is often caused by a substance or event that serves as a trigger asthma episode. Some substances and events that can serve as triggers of asthma are different allergens, irritants, cold air, strong odors, exercise, gastrointestinal disturbances, or stress. Furthermore, in some people, acid reflux can trigger an asthma attack. Besides the swelling can cause an increase in mucus production and a tightening of the muscles in the walls of the bronchi. This causes the airways to narrow, producing characteristic symptoms of this condition.
Asthma Symptoms
Caution: Asthma is a serious condition and is a medical emergency. If you or someone around you suffers from acute asthma attacks consult your doctor or go to an emergency room quickly.
Symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing, runny in the form of phlegm, and dyspnea or fatigue (short breath). The severity of symptoms varies from a whistle may occur to a lesser severe difficulty breathing. Sometimes we think of asthma as a condition annoying but not life threatening. However, thousands of people die each year because of an asthma attack.
Asthma symptoms occur more frequently during the night. In some cases, asthma presents with long periods in which there are no symptoms until a crisis occurs or what many people call an asthma attack. In other cases the symptoms are more or less continuously, producing occasionally a sharpening of these. There are cases in which only show a persistent cough and tightness in the chest area. In some children appear to be a recurring bronchitis, coughing and phlegm without fatigue on breathing or other symptoms that occur in adults.
