Asthma Education

Asthma education involves individualized patient education and instructions for patients. The discussions include what asthma is, symptoms of asthma, monitoring asthma, asthma medications, triggers of asthma, as well as asthma control and prevention of exacerbations. Specific needs are given to the patients depending on the nature of their asthma, asthma medications, types of inhalers, and specific triggers. A written individualized asthma action plan is often given to patients for them to know what action to take when asthma worsens.
