What Is The Medication For Acute Exacerbation Of Mild Intermittent Asthma?
hello doctor,
My son is 4 years old and he is diagnosed as "Acute exacerbation of Mild Intermittent Asthma" and he is treated with duolin nebulization 4 hrs once and predisolone/omnacortil syrup (7ml once a day for 3 days). The question is he is getting this attack monthly once exactly and can we give this omnacortil dosage once in a month since its a steroid i am worried to ask.
thank you in advance

Hi and thanks for the query,
If he still has crises, two things need to be done. First the drugs need to be taking for some time while he always has available his Ventoline for emrgencies, or the doses of the drugs are increased.
If nothing changes, a third drug could be added or a steroid inhaling long term control agent added to be taken for a long time, even up tp a complete until complete control of symptoms is obtained. Kind regards
