What Are the Different Types of Treatment Procedures for Asthma and Allergy?

There are many ways in which Asthma can be prevented. People with Asthma-Allergy have to undergo a skin prick test along with other tests like spirometry, peak flow and lung function to check for allergies.

According to the medical condition, a doctor evaluates the treatment plan.

Medical treatments:- Thedoctor may prescribe the patient with medication treatment to reduce airway irritation caused by Asthma-Allergic attacks. Some of the major treatment approaches include:
- Short-acting inhalers (open airways for a shorter period)
- Long-acting inhalers (open airways for a longer period)
- Inhaled corticosteroids
- Leukotriene modifiers Montelukast (Singulair)

In addition to these treatments, a doctor might recommend medications to reduce the body's response to allergen exposure

Therapeutic Treatment:
- Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy): In this treatment approach, allergy shots are given in order to reduce a patient’s response towards certain allergy triggers. These allergy shots involve the injection of a tiny amount of allergens into the patient’s body to trigger the symptoms, thereby helping the immune system to build up a tolerance to the allergens over time.
- Anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) Therapy: When a person has an allergy, their immune system holds a tendency to wronglyidentify a specific substance as something harmful and releases antibodies known as IgE, against the allergen. This therapy involves the use of medication Omalizumab (Xolair), which interferes with IgE in the body and helps prevent the allergic reaction.
