1. Why do you think Allie has antibiotics prescribed? Can you justify it?
Allie may have been prescribed antibiotics due to the diagnosis of her chest infection, this would be justified if the chest infection was bacterial as antibiotics do not work for viral chest infections.
2. What care must Allie take when using the brown inhaler? And why?
Allie must take care while using the brown inhaler as side effects include oral thrush and more severe side effects such as Cushing’s syndrome. Allie needs to be extra careful while taking Beclomethasone while on antibiotics as this can lead to the side effect of underactive adrenal glands.
3. How can Allie cut the risk of her pet triggering Asthma?
There are a range of measures Allie can take to prevent her pet from triggering her Asthma such as getting assistance from your GP, taking preventative medication, dusting often and using groomers.
