What does an emergency pack consist of?In Spain we don't have an asthma nurse.

If I asked for an emergency pack what should I ask for.

Thanks

It’s usually steroids and an antibiotic. Some doctors here in the UK won’t prescribe them, saying they need to see anyone with breathing difficulties. Which is great if you can get an appointment or it’s not the weekend!!

Not sure what opinion will be in Spain but definitely no harm in asking.
