I pull out the big guns. Prednizone and the nebulizer. I will never visit the Santa Anna Basin after early April precisely for the reason you spoke of. When I go, I go in the winter, when the weather and temperature help to tamp down the smog's effects. In LA, there are asthma warnings for the elderly and children to avoid going outdoors. Preventative medications work under normal circumstances. If things get much worse than the every day stuffs, I always have to use the more immediate albuterol stuffs in tandem to the prednizone. Sometimes, there's nothing you can do to avoid not breathing well except stay away from the irritants.
