When asthma is diagnosed, it is important to figure out whether an allergic reaction is involved, and also to identify the trigger factors that set off a reaction. Avoiding or reducing your exposure to the allergens and trigger factors that affect you is the key to controlling asthma symptoms, and may mean you will rely less on medications.
