Albuterol : Take two puffs of your quick acting asthma medication, Albuterol inhaler. If you find that it helps, you most likely have bronchospasm. Check your temperature, drink fluids and rest. Please schedule a virtual appointment with Healhtap or your PCP. Avoid smoke, dust, mold, pollen and animal dander. If you have a peak flow meter, you may upload the information for review by Healthtap.

Measure carefully!: Is difficult to interpret your symptoms, if you feel short of breath, if you cannot complete sentences, if you feel febrile although cannot document a fever, is time to do a video conference or talk to your primary care and monitor symptoms objectively and closely. Use your asthma medicines for prevention regularly and see how your response to rescue inhaler. Check if Covid 19 test is available
