See the medicine inhaler described in this link, and ask your doctor about getting a prescription. Try the lowest dose at first. You need to take it only once or twice a day, not more.

Most people do not have trouble with taking NSAIDS even if they do have asthma. If your asthma is very severe and not controlled well with medication, you should check with your doctor before you take any over the counter medicines.

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.


Are Corticosteroids typically prescribed by physicians to treat medical conditions like asthma and arthritis?

Yes they are used for Asthma and Arthritis, and a variety of other conditions to. Depending on the condition, severity, cause, etc they may be taken in inhaled form (ie an inhaler, like for asthma) or may be topical (applied to the skin). They come in many doses depending on the reason for giving them. I think they are only available via pharmacist prescription for most treatments but some may be brought over the counter. I take them for asthma; My ex-boyfriend had them for his itchy skin condition.
