How do you treat bronchospasm at home?

There are no home remedies that can stop a bronchospasm once it’s started. You’ll need a short-acting bronchodilator (such as an inhaler) to ease the symptoms of your attack. If you’ve already been diagnosed with bronchospasm, you probably already have a bronchodilator. But if this is your first episode and you don’t have a bronchodilator, you should go to the nearest emergency room for treatment.

Some experts believe that breathing exercises can reduce your risk of bronchospasm. However, research is ongoing and more evidence is needed in this area. Even so, these exercises can’t stop a bronchospasm once it’s started. If you are prone to bronchospasms, ask your healthcare provider how to best manage them.
