Keep your inhaler close at all times as it can help you avoid asthma attacks by helping you maintain a normal dose of asthma medication.

If going outside, use an N95 mask to prevent hazardous fumes from entering the nose.
4. Stay hydrated
Drinking warm water throughout the day can continuously remove toxins from the body, including various types of inflammation.
5. Avoid dust and stay indoors
People who already have breathing problems or respiratory disorders such as asthma should stay indoors as much as possible and limit exposure to smoke.
6. Avoid alcohol
Alcohol is already known to make asthma sufferers worse. Alcohol consumption during Diwali, when there is already plenty of inflammation in the air, however, can be a potent compound, increasing the risk of a sudden attack.
Keep these tips handy and enjoy your Diwali stress-free!
