A member asked:
Is a spirometry test for asthma accurate if the patient is still recovering from acute bronchitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spirometry given at that time will give a picture of how well the person isdoing from a respiratory point of view at that moment. It will not tell anything about the future. Good luck.
