Condition
Asthma & wheeze
Inhalers taught device in hand, technique checked.
Every new inhaler is taught personally — spacer, rotahaler, nebulizer — until the technique is right. The danger was never the inhaler; it is untreated asthma.
Signs worth a visit
Wheeze, a tight chest, a night-time cough, or breathlessness that comes with dust, cold air or exercise.
How it is tested here
Spirometry with reversibility and FeNO for adults. Children are read on the FOT machine, which never asks a four-year-old to blow hard into a tube.
