Solution
The correct options are
A Steroids
B Bronchodilators
Bronchodilators and steroids drugs are prescribed to the patient suffering from asthma. Bronchodilators give instant relief from chest tightness and wheezing as they contain chemicals that relax the bronchiole walls. Steroids act by reducing the degree of inflammation of the bronchioles. Decongestants are used to clear a stuffy nose and antihistamines are available as pills, nasal sprays and eye drops, these prevent symptoms such as hives by blocking histamine receptors so that your body does not react to the allergens.
