Do you have a cough?
Do you have a dry cough?
Do you have coughing fits?
Is your cough worse at night?
Do you have cough or shortness of breath at night or when you wake up in the morning?
Asthma is treated by avoiding triggers, using "rescue" inhalers when attacks happen and "preventive" inhalers. The doctor may prescribe inhalers for different purposes (prevention and rescue). Other types of inhalers and tablets can be added to improve control. Severe attacks can be life threatening and will need emergency medical care.
