For her asthma, your mother should continue taking her prescribed controller inhalers (such as fluticasone) and rescue inhalers (such as albuterol) exactly as directed by her doctor. For her body pain, acetaminophen is generally the safest over-the-counter option. It is very important to avoid pain relievers known as NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin, as these can trigger asthma attacks in some patients. If her pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by any breathing difficulties, please consult her healthcare provider for a personalised evaluation.
