my spouse having asthma almost every day how to take care of her ?

Sahil,

I'm not sure I can understand exactly what type of help you are looking for, but if your spouse is having asthma symptoms daily, that's a sure sign that her asthma is out of control. If she's not taking asthma medication at this point, she probably needs to be. And if she IS taking asthma medication, but is still having symptoms daily, then her medication may need to be changed in some way.

My advice is that you take her to see her doctor as soon as possible, possibly an allergist or other asthma specialist. Meanwhile, you can help her to avoid her asthma triggers, if you know what they are. You don't say where you live, but if you are in the northern hemisphere, then weed pollen and mold spores are likely culprits as asthma triggers right now. So, staying indoors when pollen and mold counts are high is a good idea. But it's also possible that indoor triggers such as animal dander, mold and dust might be causing her symptoms. So, working to eliminate those from your home can also help, if those are the problem.

To your health,

Kathi

Sahil:

When family members of people with asthma ask me that same question, I usually encourage them to immediately help the patient do the following 3 things:

1- Make an appointment to see their physician

2- Verify that all prescribed medicatons and treatments are being used

3- Locate a Certified Asthma Educator

These 3 things will pave the way for making sure asthma is being managed as well as posible. In the trip to the doctor, he/she can make sure that the initial diagnosis of asthma is correct and not complicated by other things and determie if a visit with a specialist is in order. It is important to make sure all medications and tools are being used as directed and in the correct way. If this is not being done, it can be very difficult for a doctor to determine if the medication is truly working or not. A Certified Asthma Educator can also be a wonderful resource to confirm proper medication use technique, discover community resources, work as a team with your family and provider to address things that might be impacting asthma control, and provide other asthma educational information.

Above all, remember, asthma is controllable. Asthma should not control you or your family - you should control it. There are so many wonderful medications, doctors and resources available. Living with daily asthma problems is not something anyone needs to get used to or accept as normal. There is no reason why, with the proper nurturing, that you and your spouse can't enjoy controlled asthma.
