Asthma attack every night for 1 week. taking bricanyl (terbutaline) tablet and ventolin nebule for nebulizing. is this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Meds you are taking treat symptoms but not root cause, inflammation in airways. Suspect something where you sleep is trigger (dust mites). Dust mite cover for mattress and pillow important. Wash bed linens in hot water and dry in hot dryer each week helpful. See healthcare provider for eval. Daily peak flow monitoring with plan for when levels low important. Use of inhaled steroid basis tx.
