Asthma can be controlled so well that most people live normal, active lives — but a severe attack is an emergency. This guide explains modern asthma treatment, warning signs, leading chest centres in India, and where to get help in Patna.

Asthma is controlled with inhalers — a daily preventer (inhaled steroid) and a reliever for symptoms — along with avoiding triggers and a written action plan. Most patients are managed by a chest physician (pulmonologist) or general physician. Leading pulmonology departments include AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh and CMC Vellore. In Patna, AIIMS Patna and IGIMS have pulmonary medicine departments, and Satyadev Multi Super Speciality Hospital provides physician care and a 24×7 emergency with nebulisation, oxygen and ICU ventilator support for severe attacks.

Answered by the Satyadev health information team.
Leading pulmonology departments include AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh and CMC Vellore. Most asthma is well managed by a local chest physician.
Asthma can't usually be cured, but with the right inhalers most people have few or no symptoms.
Yes. Inhaled steroids use very small doses that act directly in the lungs and are safe for long-term control.
Sit upright, use your reliever inhaler as per your plan, and go to emergency if there is no improvement, you can't speak in sentences or lips turn blue.
