What is common ly used to treat asthma?

There are many different ways that people treat asthma. Asthma is a chronic condition, which means that it doesn't have a "cure" that will make it go away forever. Most people carry an inhaler with them that has the appropriate medication (a popular one is called Albuterol) that they use whenever their asthma starts to act up. Some people have allergy-induced asthma and take a pill to help with allergies, thus preventing them from an asthma attack. There is also a daily steroid inhaler called Advair. Advair is inhaled through the mouth either once or twice a day. Advair is very successful at preventing asthma attacks and small flares like chronic wheezing. Other than over-the-counter allergy medicine, all asthma inhalers are prescription medications.
