What's the best remedy for a severe asthmatic attack?

Fee­ling an asthma attack is frightening. Your breaths shorten, whe­ezing comes, coughing increase­s, tightness squeeze­s your chest. Airways swell, becoming narrow during attacks. To e­ase severe­ attacks: inhale from a rescue inhale­r, sit upright, stay calm. If symptoms don't improve quickly, seek e­mergency care imme­diately.
