Your Care Your care may include: Taking dierent medicines to: Open airways Decrease your body s response to allergens Decrease the swelling of your airways Decrease congestion Finding out what causes your signs. Allergy testing. Using a peak flow meter to check and prevent asthma attacks. Drinking a large glass of liquid every 1 to 2 hours. This helps keep your mucus thin. Thin mucus is easier for you to cough up and decreases the swelling in your lungs. Clear liquids are best, such as water, fruit juice, tea, broth and clear soups. Avoiding milk products when wheezing because they can thicken your mucus. To Prevent Asthma Attacks Keep asthma medicine with you at all times. Take your scheduled medicines even if your signs go away. Avoid cigarette, pipe and cigar smoke. Stay away from foods, medicines or things that cause you to have signs of asthma. These are called triggers. Avoid contact with people who have a cold or flu. Rest and drink plenty of liquids at the first sign of a cold. Breathe through a scarf or other covering in cold weather. Talk to your doctor about an exercise to strengthen your lungs. Reduce stress. 2
