Hello
Since you are an asthmatic patient and don't want inhaler , drugs .
So I want to tell you few things and measures with the help of which you can control asthma attack.
1 Primary prevention.
Not possible because you are already an asthmatic patient.
Secondary prevention.
Early cessation of exposure to offending allergens after sensitization is more likely to lead to total resolution of symptoms rather than if exposure continue .
Tertiary prevention
Avoidance of allergens & non-specific triggers to prevent exacerbation.
Indoor allergens
. dust , mites, animal allergens , pests ( cockroaches ) & fungi.
Now most important point.
==Wash all bed covers in hot cycle ( 55-60 degree C ) every week.
==treat carpets w/acaricide or tannic acid.
==Clean upholstered furniture throughly or replace w/leather furniture.
==keep dust accumulating objects in dust cupboard .
==Replace curtainsw/blind and easily washable curtains.
==Hot wash/freeze soft toys.
==use vaccume cleaner.
==Encase mattress , pillows & quilt in impermeable covers.
==Keep pets out of living rooms and bed rooms .
==Install air conditioner or dehumidifier .
==Keep away cockroaches .
Outdoors allergen
Pollen, molds, dust .
Spray , hay , fodder , fine dusting powder , air pollution.
Avoidance certain drugs as Nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs , beta blockesrs .
Vaccine for influenza , flu.
Hope these measures will benefit you.
