Unless a patient is particularly allergic to a certain food item, foods do not trigger asthma symptoms. However, an asthma-friendly diet may focus on foods that can help manage symptoms and reduce inflammation in the airways. Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Foods rich in antioxidants and Vitamin D can be beneficial. Keeping a food diary to track triggers and symptoms can aid in identifying specific dietary changes that may benefit individual asthma management. Dr. Pralhad Prabhudesai, consultant pulmonologist from Mumbai, Maharashtra, discusses dietary tips for asthma patients.

Fluticasone comes as an aerosol to inhale by mouth using an inhaler and as a powder to inhale by mouth using an inhaler. Fluticasone aerosol oral inhalation (Flovent® HFA) is usually inhaled twice daily. Fluticasone powder for oral inhalation (Flovent® Diskus) is usually inhaled twice daily. Try to use fluticasone at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use fluticasone exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Talk to your doctor about how you should use your other oral and inhaled medications for asthma during your treatment with fluticasone inhalation. If you are using any other inhaled medications, ask your doctor if you should inhale these medications a certain amount of time before and after you inhale fluticasone inhalation. If you were taking an oral steroid such as dexamethasone, methylprednisolone (Medrol), or prednisone (Rayos), your doctor may want to gradually decrease your steroid dose starting at least 1 week after you begin to use fluticasone. Fluticasone helps to prevent asthma attacks (sudden episodes of shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing) but will not stop an asthma attack that has already started. Do not use fluticasone during an asthma attack. Your doctor will prescribe a short-acting inhaler to use during asthma attacks.
