sean.freshair	If you had an acute athsma attack yesterday then yes I'd say it could get worse. I'd see a doctor rather than rely on home remedies, but if you just want something to get comfortable with, usually something warm and with a strong smell works. I.e. tomato soup or warm tea, flavoured or otherwise. And if you had an acute athsma attack it might not be so mild now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

loriwild	Asthma usually has a trigger. It is possible you came in to contact with yours. My son has had asthma all of his life but has very few attacks. Dust mites, cigarette smoke and cold air, and extreme muggy heat, are triggers for him. He most often just uses a rescue inhaler because he has so few attacks. A few tips for aiding the onset of an attack that we have found useful are; When you feel an attack may be coming, get something "warm" to drink and try laying down and relaxing awhile. Another one that does help is drinking coffee. There is apparently something in the coffee bean that helps. Keep in mind an asthma attack is a serious problem. I would be very careful when having one. Also remember an asthma attack may be a reaction to an illness your having such as asthmatic pneumonia. If that is the case you will only have another attack until treated for the first....... I would suggest you seek medical attention for any asthma attacks. The methods listed would help give you time to seek help if your not able to use an inhaler or have one handy or even along with the use of one. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cocoabear	I have found that things i eat trigger it.Also airborne allergys.I find if i treat my food allergys,my air born allergys are not as bad.Also indegestion triggers it.You may not have enough stomach acid to digest your food well.For me indegestion was definetely causing asthma attacks.Hydrocloric acis with pepsin helps with digestion,and my attacks are not as bad.Some herbs that may help,are wild cherry,Mullein,Fenugreek,Thyme.

gangadharan_nair	Asthma is a disease of diffuse airway inflammation caused by a variety of triggering stimuli resulting in partially or completely reversible bronchoconstriction. Symptoms and signs include dyspnea, chest tightness, and wheezing. The diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, and pulmonary function tests. Treatment involves controlling triggering factors and drug therapy, most commonly with inhaled β-agonists and inhaled Corticosteroids. Prognosis is good with treatment.

dream_fairy55	I've had asthma for years and years... I think you probably should have a checkup and get some prescription meds for when you have an attack- mild or not. ASthma tends to go up and down with getting worse/getting better but it never goes away really. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Matt A	The bronchitis could have made it worse. Respiratory infections are asthma triggers. The best non medication treatment for asthma is to learn your triggers and avoid them. If you are unable to avoid them, you will need a prescription medication. If you are having less then 2 attacks per week, all you need is a fast acting inhaler. If you have more then 2 per week you will need a controller medication. A controller medication is one that you take every day to prevent asthma attacks. Singulair is now approved for exercise induced asthma. Ask your doctor about that. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
