Steroids in Asthma: Why We Need Them?
Why do we use steroids in asthma?
* Inflammation of the airways is the underlying problem in asthma
* Steroids like Prednisone and Decadron are taken by mouth
* Steroids like betamethasone and fluticasone are inhaled like albuterol.
* Steroids are used to control inflammation in asthma
* Lung inflammation in moderate asthma can be controlled but not cured. -
Phone Doctor Visits: They Work For Asthma Control!
* Quality Asthma care depends on self-management by patients.
* A large part of my role as your physician is teaching you these self-management skills.
* Crucial to these skills are techniques you will use to assess:
* Your Symptoms (Asthma Control Test)
* Your Lung Function (Peak Expiratory Flow)
* We will discuss your self-assessments by phone rather than in-person.
* These phone visits and your frequent use of the Asthmaniac website are designed to keep your asthma controlled while avoiding illness exposure and the inconveience of travel and waiting rooms -
