Hello,

Avoid all kinds of triggers. Avoid tobacco smoke exposure and smoking. Stay away from air pollution, smell of paint, fumes, also avoid direct exposure to any type of fumes while cooking. Prefer to stay at places where there is less air pollution, plenty of trees and clear environment, an environment clear of dust and pollution.

Use humidifier in your room to avoid exposure to dry air. Inhalers effectively relieve asthma symptoms and prevent future occurrence. Consult your doctor for an appropriate inhaler. Inhalers with budesonide give quick relief due to the bronchodilator component and long-term control with the steroid.

Inhalers are portable and easy to use. While budesonide nebulizers reduce inflammation in the airways and prevent asthma symptoms. It is less portable and requires nebulizer machine. It may take some time to show the benefits and effects. Inhalers are convenient for active lifestyle. Consult your treating doctor before making changes.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
