For those with severe asthma, medications taken through a nebulizer or inhaler aren’t always enough to keep them out of the hospital. But now, a new treatment may be able to do just that.
Recently, the FDA approved bronchial thermoplasty—the first even non-pharmaceutical asthma treatment.
A new study published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology says that two-thirds of all asthmatics also have an allergy. But many may not realize it.
Previously, it was known that children with asthma were more likely to have allergies, but it was thought this did not apply to adults. However, the new study shows that a whopping 75% of asthmatics between ages 20 and 40 and 65% of asthmatics above age 55 have at least one allergy.
