The use of a PPI with the medication may reduce reflux related to the steroid use. The reason for the preschool is not clear, but if it is for asthma treatment, please review allergy triggers, avoidance of smoke and use of a combination LABA/ICS with your physician or during a Healthtap consultation. Watch for signs of shortness of breath,cough and wheezing. Have a COVID-19 vaccination.
