Dear Lybrate user, asthma is diagnosed by pft / spirometery test & best treated by inhaled medicines (inhalers with spacers, nebulisers) inhaled medicines are good medicines to control, manage & treat asthma with advantages like minimal side effects, quick response / relief & easy use in emergency conditions. Your child needs an individualised treatment program, which includes reducing drug doses whenever he is better, vaccination to prevent seasonal & serious infections. Wishing your son good health.
