Asthma Treatment Options at First Care in Naples, FL

For maximum effectiveness, asthma treatment should be fully customized. Some commonly used approaches include anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator inhalers, oral medications, and asthma drugs delivered through a breathing machine or nebulizer. Because asthma is a chronic condition, the goal of treatment is to manage its symptoms, such as shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, chest pressure, tightness, and sore throat. If you experience shortness of breath during minimal activity, or if your inhaler fails to reduce your symptoms, you should seek immediate medical attention from the nearest emergency room. Otherwise, if you need help with milder asthma symptoms, you can turn to the team of experienced medical professionals at First Care in Naples, FL.

You can count on the experienced physicians and other medical professionals at First Care in Naples, Florida, to work closely with you to determine which remedies are best suited for your unique needs. We believe that an effective asthma treatment program should:

• Prevent asthma attacks and help you avoid missing work or school
• Reduce the frequency and severity of your symptoms
• Improve your airflow and lung function
• Allow you to participate in physical activities more comfortably
• Promote restful sleep
• Minimize your need for quick-relief (rescue) medications

The initial asthma treatment method we recommend for you will depend on the type and severity of your symptoms and other individual factors. Your treatment will likely be an ongoing process with continual monitoring so that we can refine your asthma action plan as your needs change. In addition to helping you breathe easier, we can teach you to recognize and avoid some of the substances that set off your symptoms by irritating your lungs.
