A member asked:
Can you suggest a means to get my doctor to prescribe me an asthma nebulizer and cough syrup?

nebulizers for asthma went out with typewriters and dial phones. Metered dose inhalers with a holding chamber if needed are more medically appropriate for inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators, usual asthma medications.

A virtual consult with Healthtap is available to review your medication. Use nasal saline rather than cough syrup. Asthma management should include a review of your asthma plan
