Q

Pulmonary function test?

A

tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. This information can help your healthcare provider diagnose and decide the treatment of certain lung disorders.

treat rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), asthma, allergies and many other conditions

reduce redness and swelling (inflammation). This can help with inflammatory conditions such as asthma and eczema. Steroids also reduce the activity of the immune system, which is the body’s natural defence against illness and infection.
