Exacerbations

My understanding of the evidence is that it doesn't support the management of increasing inhaled steroids, as you say.

I usually increase reliever medication, or if warranted, oral steroids.

Thanks Cath, thats what I thought.

Hi there

I had this discussion with a doctor recently who advised us to increase Holly's flixotide directly after a viral infection. I wasn't too sure about this because as you point out it takes time for the increased dose to kick in. We ended up increasing her serevent and salbutamol until she was better. I know I'm not medically trained but as a mum, this is my favoured option.
