吸引 / aspiration
吸引 (kyūin) in this context refers to administering medicine by inhalation, typically through the mouth using a device like an inhaler or nebulizer. The medication is absorbed directly into the lungs, making it an effective treatment for respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic bronchitis. This method ensures fast-acting relief where it’s needed most.
