Poor air quality can worsen asthma and allergy symptoms and even increase your risk of developing asthma in the first place. Know your triggers and learn how to avoid them when it’s possible.
For most people with asthma, the most important way to lessen symptoms, flare-ups and attacks is by using your asthma preventer medicine every day. This is true even when you are not having asthma symptoms. Another way to manage your asthma symptoms is to know your triggers and learn how to avoid them when it’s possible.
It’s important to identify triggers that may be present in your own home. Everyday items like dust, pet hair and mould can contribute to asthma symptoms. By being aware of these triggers, you can take steps to minimise exposure and keep your asthma well-controlled.
