yes of course. there are many ways to treat asthma without using steroids but remember that asthma is an inflammatory lung disorder and steroids really are a mainstay of treatment. high-dose (oral) steroid can cause problems but inhaled corticosteriods are considered safe and effective for long-term use. don't let the name "steroid" scare you or your husband. properly prescribed low-dose steroids are really like "hydrocortisone cream for your lungs". they relieve inflammation and it is the inflammation that is the real underlying issue with asthma. if you still do not want to use steroids then have a long talk with his treating medical provider. there are other treatment methods that can help. do not under-estimate asthma. uncontrolled asthma can result in some very serious manifestations. don't ever ignore it.
my husband has chronic asthma. is there a way to treat it without steroids? . his father died a disease that was aided by the bone erosion due to his asthma steriod use. my husband is still young and i was wondering if there was anything out there to help him.
