A 13-year-old patient is taken to the school clinic because he started to have an asthma attack while running outside in the cold air. The school nurse has two metered- dose inhalers on file for him: fluticasone and albuterol. Which inhaler is the priority at this time? Explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer :

• LTRA s are the class of oral medication that is non steroidal .
• They may also referred to as anti-inflammatory bronchitis construction preventors
• LTRA s work by blocking a chemical reaction that can lead to inflammation in the airways .

In above case LTRA is not working for the patient ,so we can prescribe the broncho dialators for this patient .

• Bronchodilators will help to decrease his short Ness of breath.
• Most common drug of choice is salbutamol and budesonide will provide instant relief from dyspnea .
• Asthalin nebulizaton also recommended for this patient .

2) answer :

Albuterol is better than fluticasone

Albuterol is a bronchodilator used to treat or prevent bronchospasm in people with reversible obstructive airway disease.
