Patient's question:
My friend's cousin suffers from asthma. Currently, he frequently experiences coughing. In recent times, he has been taking medication for treatment. It has been about four years since he first fell ill, and the treatment has not been effective, with coughing persisting. Now, things have gotten this way, and my friend feels helpless, unsure of how to help him. How can bronchial asthma be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Medications for treating asthma can be divided into control medications and relief medications. Control medications are those that require long-term daily use, and these drugs primarily maintain clinical control of asthma through anti-inflammatory effects. Relief medications are those used as needed, and these drugs alleviate asthma symptoms by quickly relaxing bronchial spasms. Currently, there is no self-healing solution. However, with proper medication use, patients' conditions can be stabilized, allowing them to maintain normal life and exercise without interference. The most important approach is standardized treatment.
