Since asthma is a chronic ailment, there technically isn't a cure for it. But having no cure for it doesn't really mean that you can't "get rid" of it. While you can't get rid of your asthma, you can still get rid of your attacks. The condition is still there, but having a near total control of your attacks would make your asthma seem nonexistent. Even after keeping your asthma under control, always keep a rescue medication nearby. You never know when you might need it.
Getting rid of asthma requires you to play an active role rather than relying on doctor's advice. Your doctor can only give you your medications and treatments, and the rest will be up to you. Simple things such as avoiding smoky areas, cleaning the house to prevent dust accumulation, wearing a scarf during cold seasons, and whatnot can help you in the long run while you are in the process of strengthening your immune system through medication and exercise.
The more you act on your condition the better things will become and the faster you will be able to achieve long lasting relief. Working along with your clinician by taking details of each and every attack that you go through can help them devise a better action plan and prescribe more effective medication that is targeted for your unique condition. Carry an asthma notebook around with you and list down the details of every flare-up or attack that you might encounter. Take down details like the duration of the attack, the conditions that might have contributed to it, the time, what you ate, and whether you were indoors or outdoors at the time.
Each person has his own asthma severity and no single treatment or medicine will work for all asthmatics. The only difference between those who have successfully managed their condition and those who have not is the level of cooperation and participation. Asthmatics have a role to play in the effectiveness of their treatments and medications. If they go out and frequently stay in smoking areas, for instance, their asthma will only get worse.
Asthma can mean either of two things. It can be a nuisance that is not to be taken seriously, or a threat that needs your attention and action to be able to achieve relief. Think about these two things and where you stand on when it comes to understanding and taking care of yourself. This is the first step you need to take before you can attain the relief that you so much craved for a long time.
