Myth 1: An 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 a slow and continuous destruction of airway structures, which can eventually cause permanent lung function damage. Uncontrolled asthma has the same proportion of patients who die due to acute asthma attacks whether the usual symptoms are mild or severe, so occasional asthma symptoms should also be taken seriously. 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. A large global clinical study showed that with continuous salmeterol/tikasone inhalation treatment, about 80% of patients can get good control of their asthma and live like normal people. The right approach: Patients cooperate with their doctors by adhering to their medication, adhering to peak flow rate and lung function monitoring, and following up regularly. With active treatment and long-term asthma control with medications, you can enjoy life as normal as well! Mild asthma can be fatal if not treated aggressively!
