A, E
Feedback:
Cromolyn sodium should be used with a metered-dose inhaler, and the child should wait 1 to 2 minutes between puffs when taking this medication. This medication should be taken after a bronchodilator. Doses should not exceed the number of ordered puffs because tolerance can develop. This medication is not effective in an acute attack.
