This sparks an excessive response that leads to symptoms such as itching, watery eyes, nasal discharge and inflammation. In certain environments, like a walk through Riverfront City Park, these reactions can trigger asthma symptoms, resulting in allergic asthma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Triggers of Allergic Asthma<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Woman-coughs-outside-in-the-park.jpg\" alt=\"Woman coughs outside in a park\" class=\"wp-image-10369\" width=\"579\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Woman-coughs-outside-in-the-park.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/entsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Woman-coughs-outside-in-the-park-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Allergic asthma is distinguished by asthma <a href=\"https:\/\/aafa.org\/asthma\/asthma-triggers-causes\/#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20asthma%20triggers,strong%20emotions%2C%20and%20some%20medicines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attacks initiated by common allergens including<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Dust mites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cockroaches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plant pollen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fungal spores<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pet dander<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the prevalent allergens associated with this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/allergy\/allergies\/allergy-treatments\/\">Treatments<\/a> are often designed to address asthma or allergies separately, but there are specific strategies aimed at managing allergic asthma. Recognizing and avoiding allergens is critical for symptom control. Other treatment options may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Allergen Immunotherapy: This involves administering shots that gradually introduce allergens to the body, with the goal of desensitizing the immune system over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anti-IgE Therapy: For severe allergic asthma, this therapy targets the immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies involved in allergic responses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leukotriene Modifiers: These oral medications target the chemicals released during an allergic reaction and can alleviate symptoms of both allergic rhinitis and asthma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, healthcare providers may recommend other specific treatments for asthma or allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details on managing allergic asthma and exploring treatment alternatives, schedule an appointment with <span class=\"company-name \">Willamette ENT &amp; Facial Plastic Surgery<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ul class=\"related-posts\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/how-bad-are-allergens-where-i-live\/\" class=\"related-post\">How Bad Are Allergens Where I Live?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/what-to-know-about-pollen-where-i-live\/\" class=\"related-post\">What To Know About Pollen Where I Live<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/happiness-from-hearing-devices\/\" class=\"related-post\">Happiness from Hearing Devices<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition in which air passages become inflamed and are overly sensitive to certain stimuli.
