Why Choose IM&PC for Asthma Care in Saltillo & New Albany
Asthma is a chronic condition that inflames and narrows the airways, making it harder to move air in and out of the lungs. Symptoms often include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and shortness of breath, and they can flare with exercise, respiratory infections, allergens, smoke, weather changes, or stress. At Internal Medical & Pediatric Clinic (IM&PC), we view asthma as a condition that can be controlled with the right everyday plan and a reliable strategy for flare-ups. Care is available at both of our clinics in New Albany & Saltillo in Mississippi, so families can be seen close to home.
Evaluation begins with listening. Our clinicians ask about daytime and nighttime symptoms, exercise tolerance, work or school exposures, and any past emergency visits. We review current inhaler technique and medications, check lung sounds, and, when appropriate, perform or coordinate spirometry to measure airflow. IM&PC focuses on practical, objective data, so an accurate diagnosis guides treatment. Our providers make sure each step is explained in simple terms.
Asthma control is the goal. For many people, control means few or no daytime symptoms, full participation in activities, and no nighttime awakenings. Personalized plans at Internal Medical & Pediatric Clinic may include quick relief inhalers, daily controller therapies, and allergy management to reduce triggers. Our providers also emphasize technique and adherence since the way an inhaler is used can dramatically change results.
Education is part of every visit. We teach how to recognize early signs of a flare, when to step up therapy, and when to call us. Patients leave with a written asthma action plan that uses zones and specific steps so there is no guesswork. Because IM&PC is a primary care home, we also look at sleep, reflux, sinus health, and other conditions that can mimic or worsen asthma. This whole-person view helps our providers improve comfort and reduce urgent visits.
Consistency matters. Internal Medical & Pediatric Clinic offers early morning and Saturday hours, and care is coordinated seamlessly between New Albany & Saltillo. Whether the appointment is for a new diagnosis, a seasonal tune-up, or follow-up after an urgent visit, our providers keep care steady and responsive. The focus is predictable breathing, confident self-management, and fewer interruptions to school, sports, and work.
FAQs About Asthma Care
What is asthma, and how is it treated at IM&PC?
Asthma is airway inflammation and tightening that causes cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath. At Internal Medical & Pediatric Clinic, our doctors tailor quick relief and controller medications, teach inhaler technique, and create an asthma action plan that fits daily life.
How do I know if my asthma is well-controlled?
Well-controlled asthma means minimal daytime symptoms, no nighttime waking, and no activity limits. If you are using your quick relief inhaler more than recommended or missing school or work, schedule with IM&PC in New Albany & Saltillo so our healthcare experts can adjust the plan.
What tests at IM&PC might be used to diagnose or monitor asthma?
History and exam are foundational, and spirometry may be used to measure airflow. Internal Medical & Pediatric Clinic also reviews peak flow trends and response to therapy, and our providers decide when additional testing or referrals are appropriate.
Do you treat exercise-induced symptoms for athletes and active patients?

What should I do during a flare-up?
Use your action plan to step up therapy and track response. If symptoms do not improve or you are worried, contact Internal Medical & Pediatric Clinic for same-day guidance, and use urgent care or emergency services when severe; our doctors will update your plan after the episode.
Can allergies make asthma worse, and do you address them?
Allergies often contribute to airway inflammation. IM&PC reviews exposures, recommends environmental controls, and coordinates allergy treatments when indicated so our providers can improve control and comfort.

What if I smoke or live with someone who smokes?
