An 8-year-old girl is brought in by her father for a review of her asthma

An 8-year-old girl is brought in by her father for a review of her asthma. They have tried a couple of different treatment regimes so far, the most recent one being low dose inhaled corticosteroid with montelukast as maintenance therapy, and salbutamol as a reliever. They have tried this regime for 8 weeks, but this has led to little improvement in her symptoms.
