Early asthmatic responses are treated with bronchodilating drugs. In the case of late responses, they are mostly treated with inhaled corticosteroid sprays. In order to avoid side effects such as irritation of the vocal cords or fungus growth in the throat area, such sprays are administered using a spacer for inhalation (for example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cegla.de\/en\/products\/inhalation-therapy\/rc-chamber\">RC-Chamber\u00ae<\/a>).[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; max_width=&#8221;1080px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]There are other disorders that accompany bronchial hyperreactivity.
