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.
