    1. Oral medication helps in preventing asthma flare ups but they do not help in relieving the immediate symptoms.

    2. I have Singulair, recently added to my arsenal. I was hesitant to add an oral med, but its made a huge improvement.

      1. Hi again, IncredibleSunshine. So glad to hear that Singulair has made such a big difference in how you feel. When you're on the proper medication regimen, it's remarkable how much better you can feel.
        Keep up the good work!
