Allergic asthma is triggered by inhaling allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, pollens, mold, etc.  These allergens cause inflammation and swelling of the airways. This results in coughing, wheezing and chest tightness. Asthma is treated with two kinds of medicines: quick-relief medicines to stop asthma symptoms and long-term control medicines to prevent symptoms.   Allergic asthma is treated with avoidance of allergens, anti-allergy medication and allergy shots.

Short-acting beta agonists

These medications are also known as rescue medicines. They are used for quick relief of asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, feeling tight when breathing, coughing and shortness of breath. Short-acting beta agonists act within minutes to temporarily relieve these symptoms. The possible side effects of short-acting inhaled beta agonists include a fast heartbeat, nervousness and shakiness, which usually pass quickly when the medicine is inhaled.  It's a good idea to carry your rescue medication with you wherever you go. 

Long – acting beta agonists

Some people with asthma are prescribed a long-acting reliever inhaler as an add-on treatment. Long-acting reliever inhalers should only be used if you've also been prescribed a steroid preventer inhaler to use every day. It is dangerous to use a long-acting reliever inhaler without also using a steroid preventer inhaler. Your long-acting reliever inhaler will not help during an asthma attack.

Allergy shots

The potential promise is that allergy shots might lead to fewer asthmatic symptoms, reduce the need for daily medications, and correct the basic allergic mechanisms in the body.
