You are seeing a 12 year old girl who has mild persistent asthma and allergic rhinitis. Her mother is concerned that she has missed too much school due to her asthma. She uses her albuterol inhaler 1-2 times daily in the winter for cough and has no audible wheezes or increased work of breathing during the visit. She is also using Zyrtec in the morning. Using the step up approach, what other medications would be most beneficial for this child?
