Asthma Treatment Options: Learn How to Manage and Control Your Asthma

Asthma Sufferers: Know Your Treatment Options

Like most other diseases asthma acts differently in different people. Your own case of asthma will be unique to you. That’s why it’s so important that you consult your physician about which treatment method will be best for you.

Treating Your Asthma

The first step to obtaining treatment is getting a diagnosis. Once your doctor has confirmed that you do indeed have asthma, he or she will be able to prescribe the right type of medicine to help mitigate and even control your asthma.

You should enjoy several benefits once you start taking medication, including:

  • Ability to breathe more easily.
  • Ability to be more active. 
  • Fewer asthma symptoms.

What Are The Different Types of Treatments?

As stated above, there are many types of treatment available for your asthma. Each treatment works differently. Some asthma medicines work by relaxing your airways, which then allows you to breathe more easily. Other treatments may reduce swelling and inflammation of the airways.

Fast-Acting Medicine

  • Take this medication if your symptoms seem to be worsening.
  • Start this treatment right when you notice any asthma symptoms.

Long-Term Control Medicine

  • This is a medication or type of medication that you will need to take every day, regardless of whether or not you notice symptoms.

More from Pollen Sense

A clearer, more helpful Pollen Wise home screen

We’ve been spending a lot of time reviewing feedback, reading survey responses, and looking closely at how people are using Pollen Wise. One common thread amongst the feedback and survey responses stuck out: people want the app to feel easier to understand at a glance, and more helpful in answering the question, “What should I care about right now?” That thinking shaped this latest update. This is a major refresh to the Pollen Wise home screen, and while we know there is still more to improve, this update is an important step. We’re continuing to build, refine, and learn, and your feedback is a big part of what helps us decide where to go next.

Incoming: Branches, Revisions, and Layers

Update: The data cutoff for legacy metrics data was changed from March 11 to March 23, 2026 6PM UTC. Data before that date will continue to be available for the forseeable future, however data after March 23, 2026 6PM UTC will no longer be present either in the legacy portal data viewer or via v1 APIs. Please use the V2 APIs and the Branch/Revision-powered data viewer in the portal for live incoming data

LLMs vs CNNs: Why Physical AI Starts With Data Infrastructure

When we say “AI” at Pollen Sense, most people assume we mean LLMs. We don’t. When people hear that Pollen Sense is building AI data infrastructure, the default assumption is usually large language models, chatbots, text generation, or conversational AI. That’s understandable given the moment we’re in. But it’s not what we mean when we say AI. At Pollen Sense, AI data infrastructure means Physical AI, machine learning systems that directly observe the real world, classify physical signals in real time, and convert them into structured, trustworthy data that other systems can reason on.
