So what are some treatments for asthma relief? Well, generally the treatments will vary by individual but the following will all provide effective asthma relief for most symptoms of asthma:
Beta2-agonists are the most common treatment for asthma and they can be given either with a nebulizer or with an inhaler depending on your needs. Obviously a infant or toddler would need a nebulizer where a healthy adult would use an inhaler. Recent studies have shown that inhalers work just as well as for asthma relief as nebulizers.
Corticosteroids are another option and can help when injected into adults at the onset of a severe attack. In many cases this can prevent hospitalization.
Oxygen can also be administered but this is only done generally in severe cases and can save lives. Obviously there are more asthma relief treatments available but these are the most common, safe and effective methods.
