He is not taking any other medications. History is otherwise unremarkable. Physical exam is normal. Spirometry shows FEV1 = 90%. The correct diagnosis is: a.Severe Persistent Asthma b.Moderate Persistent Asthma c. Mild Persistent Asthma d. Mild Intermittent Asthma According to the STEP approach, how would you treat this patient?
Homework Answers
As forced expiratory volume in one second is equal to 90% that suggest a diagnosis of mild persistent asthma.
As the boy is using inhaler four or five times a week, controller therapy can be utilized in this case. Regular check-ups are recommended for such cases where we can check the level of asthma. Minor doses of corticosteroids can be prescribed in order to avoid any case of adverse issues.
