- Coughing, especially at night
- Chest tightness or pain
- Excessive fatigue during exercise
Asthma Risk Factors:
Some factors that may increase the risk of asthma include:
- Gender
- Family history
- Allergens, such as dust, mold, fungi, and pet dander
- Environmental factors such as smoke, pollution, cold temperatures, and high humidity
- Cigarette smoke
Asthma Treatment
Inhalation Therapy
Patients of all ages can benefit from inhalation therapy. It's an effective way to treat your asthma because it delivers medication directly into your lungs. We provide home and portable nebulizer machines to help alleviate your symptoms quickly so you can breathe easier.
Pediatric Care
If your child has asthma, they may benefit from a custom treatment plan. At Lincare, we provide equipment and education while working closely with guardians, caregivers, and the child's prescribing practitioner to provide the best possible care for the patient.
