Are Asthalin inhalers safe for my 12 y/o with asthma?

Question

Hello doctor,

My daughter is currently 12 years old. I want to know what should be taken for asthma triggered by weather changes, an Asthalin inhaler or antibiotics. We are concerned about using the inhaler, as it is often viewed negatively. Are Asthalin inhalers safe, or could they lead to complications in the future?

Please guide me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand that you are worried about your daughter's health in light of her asthma diagnosis. During acute episodes of asthma, I highly recommend using an Asthalin inhaler. This medication is specifically designed to provide quick relief by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier for her to breathe.

Additionally, consider using a steroid inhaler as a preventive measure. This type of inhaler can help reduce inflammation in the airways and minimize the frequency of asthma attacks, ensuring better long-term management of her condition. Rest assured, the Asthalin inhaler is safe for your daughter to use.

Regarding antibiotics, it is important to know that they should be administered only when there is clear evidence of an infection. In the case of asthma, antibiotics will not alleviate her symptoms as they are not effective for the condition itself. They are necessary and appropriate only when your daughter experiences symptoms such as a fever or other signs indicating a bacterial infection.

I hope you find this response helpful.

Thank you.
