Abstract

Asthma is a chronic condition of varying intensity that is characterised by symptoms including coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness. The article details a case study outlining the consultation and prescribing practice for a five-year-old girl who presented with a cough and breathlessness, and who was subsequently diagnosed with asthma. The author assessed and treated this patient while undertaking her non-medical prescribing qualification, and she outlines the diagnostic and prescribing decision-making process. The author also examines the potential drug interactions and adverse drug reactions relevant to the patient's age and comorbidities.
