What Is Asthma Treatment?
Asthma is a long-term condition that causes inflammation in the lungs and airways, leading to breathing difficulties. Common symptoms of asthma include wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. These symptoms can occur in both children and adults, although the severity may differ. While some children may see their asthma improve as they grow older, adult asthma symptoms can persist and even worsen over time. In severe cases, untreated asthma can become life-threatening. That's why getting tested and seeking professional asthma treatment is important if you or your child exhibit these symptoms. The team at Younger Medical Health and Wellness in Queen Creek and Scottsdale, AZ specializes in providing personalized asthma care to help control your asthma symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.
How Does Asthma Treatment Work?
Treating asthma begins with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms and medical history. When you visit our clinic, one of our skilled team members will discuss your symptoms in detail and may ask about potential asthma triggers, such as allergens, exercise, or environmental factors. Next, a physical examination will focus on your airways and breathing patterns. Diagnostic tests, like chest x-rays or lung function tests (such as spirometry), may be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Spirometry measures how much air you can breathe in and out, as well as how fast you can do so, providing essential information on the health of your lungs.
Based on your diagnosis, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Common treatments for asthma include quick-relief inhalers (bronchodilators) to manage sudden symptoms and long-term preventive inhalers (steroids) to reduce inflammation and prevent flare-ups. In some cases, oral medications may also be prescribed to control more severe asthma symptoms. The goal of treatment is to help you manage your asthma and live with fewer interruptions from this condition.
What Are the Benefits of Asthma Treatment?
Asthma treatment offers numerous benefits, especially for those with severe asthma or persistent adult asthma symptoms. Here are some of the ways effective treatment can improve your daily life:
- Reduces symptoms: Proper medication makes symptoms, like wheezing and shortness of breath, more manageable, allowing you to breathe more easily.
- Fewer asthma attacks: A well-managed asthma treatment plan helps decrease the frequency and intensity of asthma attacks.
- Improves sleep: Many people with asthma experience nighttime symptoms that disrupt their rest. Controlling these symptoms leads to better, more restful sleep.
- Increases physical activity: With symptoms under control, you can engage in physical activities with less fear of triggering an asthma attack.
- Enhances overall health: Long-term asthma management helps improve your lung function, improving overall health and well-being.

This office and this doctor made me feel important and I have been all over the United States have been able to have a zoom appointment and an inside appointment takes Medicare. Yeah good guy all around great office. Thanks so much for alleviating my blood pressure just by talking.
Great experience each time I head in for a visit/check up. Dr. Young is awesome and the entire staff is friendly and understanding (I can be a pain).
Dr. Young was great. First appointment he took some extra time to get to know me and make sure he was prescribing exactly what was needed not taking anything for granted. His care was much appreciated.
Amazing listener and extremely helpful. Takes time - Love his likeness to the family doctors of years gone by forever!He cares!
The doctor was very courteous and professional, he is one of the best doctors I've ever had and I'm 75 years old and I've had a lot of doctors
