The latest view is that if contact with triggers can trigger an asthma attack, it means that the patient's asthma is poorly controlled and the dose of the controller needs to be increased, rather than asking the patient to avoid contact with the trigger.

2: For acute attacks of moderate severity or above, in order to reduce deterioration, reduce the risk of hospitalization, and promote the termination of attacks, adequate administration of glucocorticoids should be started as early as possible. Both oral and intravenous administration are effective.
