My advice is to talk with your doctor about what asthma medication will be most right for you. Be willing to endure the trial and error process and give each a good 1 to 2 weeks to reach full effectiveness in your body. And, if necessary, you may want to consult with an asthma expert on your treatment plan. This includes both allergists and pulmonolgists.
Of course, the best way to prevent asthma symptoms is to avoid your asthma triggers, but that's not always an easy task. Another option, if you have allergic asthma, is to take allergy shots, which slowly desensitize you to your allergens over a period of months or years.
