Abstract

Asthma affects people of all ages, and the mortality rate associated with the disease is increasing. The proper understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms, including airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction, can lead to a more logical treatment approach. Recognition of the important role of allergic triggers in influencing the sensitivity of the airways can help direct therapy toward prevention. Avoidance of irritants will help patients maintain normal airway function with fewer medications. Appropriate monitoring by the patient or the parent can help the medical team recognize worsening asthma before emergency treatment or hospitalization is required. The proper management of asthma necessitates understanding of the disease, medications, and goals by both the physician and the patient.
