A useful care conversation
Describe the timing, suspected triggers and treatments already tried. Mention asthma, other medicines and any side effects. A clinician can discuss avoiding triggers and suitable symptom-relief options, and reassess if the pattern suggests another cause.
When to seek more care
- Call 911 for serious breathing difficulty or swelling of the tongue or throat.
- Get reassessed if symptoms persist, worsen or are not responding to your plan.

For an emergency, call 911. Do not wait for a Tap reply or send a photo first.
