This may cause the asthma to get worse. For asthma medicine taken by mouth, never have your child take this medicine on an empty stomach. If your child gets nauseous or vomits, try to give the medicine with some milk or food. Be sure to tell your doctor you are doing this because giving the medicine with food or milk can change its effectiveness. If the side effects, such as vomiting, do not go away, talk to your doctor about changing the dose or the type of medicine.
Vomiting is an urgent danger sign.
Speak to your doctor about changing the dose or type of medicine. It is important to know the warning signs that tell you when emergency medical care is needed. Ask your doctor what you should do so that you can be prepared for an asthma episode. Write down a plan for getting care in an emergency. This is called a rescue plan.
