Since Asthma is a chronic disease, treatment goes on for a very long time. Some people have to stay on treatment for the rest of their lives. The best way to improve your condition and live your life on your terms is to learn all you can about your asthma and what you can do to make it better.
These are the goals of treatment:
Asthma is an incurable lung disease so no treatment is going to get rid of it entirely. However there are ways of making the symptoms less prominant and there are ways of living an ordinary life with asthma. Some of the things which can trigger asthma include pollen, plants in general, pets and other Allergies. Ways to make asthma easier to cope with are to keep ft and exercise regularly and take medicines prescribed by a doctor as the doctor has told you to take them.
using an inhaler every day twice. Don't do activities that tire you out quickly and that make you cough. Drink lots of fluids (water, Ginger Ale) and try to see if your doctor will subscribe you another asthma related medication
diagnosis
Diagnosis, assessment of airway efficiency, treatment with bronchodialtors and steroids depending on severity, and education of the condition/ home care instructions, avoiding exacerbating factors.
Asthma is a chronic, long-term disease which has no cure, but it can be controlled by using a nebulizer or a quick relief inhaler. A person with asthma should also visit their doctor every two to six weeks for regular checkups until their asthma is under control.
Medical management of asthma makes use of bronchodilators, whether oral or inhaled. Surgical management occurs in extreme cases (e.g. life threatening) and makes use of a procedure called the tracheotomy, to do so.
what is brochial asthma in acute exacerbation?
Ambuterol
PNA=pneumonia
It's hard to know without context, but I'm guessing it stands for acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma.
It would be a diagnosis code not procedure.
Acute in this context means short-term -- it hasn't been going on long. Exacerbation means signs and symptoms have gotten worse. "Acute exacerbation" of a disease means the disease has been there right along, but lately it's acting up. For example, in this season in our area (spring), I see many patients with acute exacerbation of allergies.
acute pain and chroic pain
breakthrough pain

No, asthma is a chronic condition that does not go away. The symptoms are acute and will not always be present in some people.
Yes, if your albuterol is not helping during a severe asthma attack. Ventolin (albuterol) is the rescue medication meant for most asthma attacks. During an acute exacerbation, most clinicians (you need to create an action plan with your physician) recommend 2 inhalations of albuterol every 20 minutes. If after 3 cycles there is no improvement, call 911 or get to the ER. Most people with asthma have oral prednisone at home that they are instructed to take at this time as well. Flovent is a corticosteroid that is meant to prevent asthma exacerbations only. Using Flovent during an acute attack will not help you.
what are medical management to the patient with acute gastroenteritis
AECB stands for Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis. It refers to a sudden worsening of symptoms in a patient with chronic bronchitis, such as increased coughing, phlegm production, and difficulty breathing. Treatment usually involves antibiotics and bronchodilators to help alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.
Pneumonia is an infection or inflammation of the lungs, often caused by bacteria or viruses, but can also be caused by fluid or food aspiration, inhalation of smoke or other toxic gases. It is a temporary and acute condition.On the other hand, Asthma is an ongoing chronic condition that has acute flare ups and chronic pulmonary insufficiency due to airway reactions that cause the bronchial tubes to be partially obstructed. This results in shortness of breath, chronic cough, frequent chronic bronchitis, chronic pneumonia and wheezing. It is believed to be caused by a genetic predisposition of the airways to have inflammatory reactions involving swelling of the bronchial tree. The different triggers partially define the different types of asthma. There are several types of asthma:Allergic asthma: reaction to substances that are usually harmless to people such as: dust, dust mites, pollens, animal dander, etc.Exercise-induced asthma that is triggered by exercise after around 5 - 20 minutes.Cough-variant asthma is accompanied by severe cough and triggered usually by respiratory infections and exercise.Occupational asthma occurs in people while at their place of work and triggered by work-related chemicals, vapors, gasses, or particles in the air. Jobs that are commonly involved include animal breeders, farmers, hairdressers, nurses, painters, and woodworkers.Nighttime/nocturnal asthma: triggered only at night by allergens in the bedroom, lying sleeping position, GERD/heartburn, cooling of the airways, sinusitis and post nasal drip.See the related link below for more on the types of asthma.
