She has sufferd with assma in the summer every year and has been to the hospital and blood work come back good. She has mamory loss confusion.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Prednisone is used in some cases of an acute asthmatic attack. To reduce the frequency of her attacks, she should identify her triggers for asthma and try to reduce them if possible. Some common triggers are common cold, reflux, sinus problems, exercise, cold exposure, extreme emotion. If she has reflux or sinus disease she should treat these. She should also use her preventer inhaler as prescribed by her doctor. If the present dose of the preventer is not enough, it may need to be increased to improve her control. I hope this helps
