Myth 1: Occasional cough and shortness of breath in asthma is not considered serious Mild symptoms of asthma also suggest uncontrolled inflammation of the airways. If left untreated, this chronic inflammation can lead to destruction of airway structures and cause permanent damage to lung function. Uncontrolled asthma causes the same percentage of deaths due to acute asthma attacks whether the usual symptoms are mild or severe, so occasional asthma symptoms should also be taken seriously. The right approach: With or without symptoms, asthma patients need long-term continuous treatment with controlled medications. Myth 2: Asthma cannot be controlled and must be committed frequently There is no treatment or drug that can achieve a cure for asthma, however, bronchial asthma is not hopeless. The Global Asthma Prevention and Control Genius Guide states that most asthma patients can control their asthma as long as they actively cooperate with their doctors and adhere to the use of controlling medications for a long time. The right way: Patients cooperate with their doctors’ treatment by adhering to medication, peak flow rate and lung function monitoring, and regular follow-up. Mild asthma can be fatal if not treated aggressively! If treated aggressively and with long-term medication to control asthma, you can live like a normal person.
