ALLERGIC ASTHMA CARE

Asthma is a common chronic respiratory condition that can range from mild intermittent symptoms to severe flare-ups requiring hospitalisation if not well controlled. Allergic asthma is often triggered by allergens such as dust mites, pollens, moulds, animal dander, and environmental irritants.

At the Centre for Allergy & Asthma Townsville (CAAT), we provide comprehensive asthma assessment to identify triggers, evaluate symptom control, and optimise treatment. Lung function testing (spirometry) is used to measure airway function, confirm diagnosis, and guide ongoing management.

Every patient receives a personalised Asthma Action Plan designed to improve daily symptom control, reduce the risk of exacerbations, and support an active, healthy lifestyle. For patients with difficult-to-control or treatment-resistant asthma, we offer streamlined referral to respiratory and allergy specialists, ensuring timely access to advanced therapies and ongoing expert care.
