Takeaways

• 😀 Asthma is caused by inflammation in the airways, leading to narrowing and difficulty breathing, often triggered by allergens or irritants like smoke.
• 😀 Rizki has been prescribed four medications: Dexamethasone (to reduce inflammation), Salbutamol (for symptom relief), CTM (for allergies), and Ventolin Inhaler (for acute relief).
• 😀 Dexamethasone should be taken 1 tablet three times a day to help reduce airway inflammation.
• 😀 Salbutamol is prescribed to relieve asthma symptoms, such as shortness of breath, and should be taken 1 tablet three times daily.
• 😀 CTM tablet is an antihistamine for allergies and should be taken 1 tablet three times daily, only if necessary for allergy symptoms.
• 😀 Ventolin Inhaler is to be used 1-3 times daily for immediate relief of asthma symptoms. It should be inhaled by placing the mouthpiece between the teeth, pressing the inhaler, and inhaling deeply.
• 😀 Proper inhaler technique is crucial: breathe in slowly, hold the breath for 5-10 seconds, and clean the inhaler regularly to avoid oral issues.
• 😀 After using the inhaler, it is important to gargle with water to avoid side effects like mouth sores or white patches.
• 😀 Rizki should avoid asthma triggers like dust, cigarette smoke, and allergens. Wearing a mask while riding a motorbike or cleaning can help prevent exposure to triggers.
• 😀 If asthma symptoms persist after using the medication for three days, Rizki is advised to consult the doctor for further evaluation.
• 😀 The pharmacist suggests replacing bed linens weekly to reduce allergens and minimize the risk of asthma flare-ups.
