Inhaled steroids are one of the most important long-term control medications.
They reduce swelling, inflammation and mucus production in the airways to help control and prevent asthma symptoms. Inhaled steroids are long-term control medications, but do not immediately open the airways. They do not provide immediate relief of wheezing or acute asthma attacks. For acute asthma attacks, your child will need a quick-relief medication. It is good to use a spacer with a MDI to better deliver the medicine to the lungs.
