- Inhaled steroid can reduce bronchial inflammation and sensitivity to aggravated factors causing asthma attack.
- Inhaled short-acting bronchodilators (especially b2-type sympathetic doping) can relax bronchus and rapidly relief symptoms.
- The most common side effect of inhaled steroids is oral candidiasis (thrush). The use of an aerochamber, which promotes the drug into the lungs rather than the mouth, can prevent complications of inhaled steroids. Mouthwash and brush teeth must be done after inhaled drugs.
I.Foreword
Asthmatic treatment and prevention while asthma attacks have three main principles: To avoid allergens, to avoid aggravated factors, and appropriate drug treatment. We will explain the precautions of asthmatic medications as following.
II.Medication of Asthmatic Control:
Children with asthma, even if there are no obvious symptoms, need to use medications everyday to control.
Leukotriene (Singular) Singular is used for the child who has mild symptoms. Dosage is administered once daily by oral intake. It is the first-line medicine and is equivalent to low-dose inhaled steroid
Inhaled Steroids
Inhaled steroid can reduce bronchial inflammation and sensitivity to aggravated factors that cause asthma attacks. It is the first choice for persistent asthma. It can reduce the severity and frequency of symptoms to improve the quality of life. The colors of inhaled steroid drugs are red or orange.

Inhaled Short - Acting Bronchodilators
Inhaled short-acting bronchodilators (especially b2-type sympathetic doping) can relax the bronchus and rapidly relieve symptoms. These bronchodilators are sometimes also called "quick medicine". Children who have had symptoms must to learn to use and carry it everywhere. The inhaled short-acting bronchodilator bottles are in color of blue or gray .
III.Medication Precautions:
- Inhaled steroids should be taken to a metering aerochamber ( Figure 1). Aerochambers have different sizes. The way to connect the aerochamber and inhaler is shown in Figure 2.


- The most common side effect of inhaled steroids is oral candidiasis (thrush). The use of an aerochamber, which promotes the drug into the lungs rather than the mouth, can prevent complications of inhaled steroids. The toothbrush and brushing of the teeth must be done after inhaled drugs.

IV. Conclusion:
