HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, inhalors can be used in this age group. There risks associated with untreated asthma attacks are far greater than any risks associated with the use of inhalors.
Preventative inhalors would reduce the frequency of his asthmatic attacks.
An asthmatic attack would present with some or all of the following: coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing , chest pain
I hope this helps
