Brief Answer:
Peak Flow meter

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, You can use a Peak Flow meter to measure the severity of asthma in you. You can get in pharma shops or even online. You may need guidance on how to interpret the results and fo that you may take help from youtube videos on it.

yes, You can use Neti pot but you must use Normal saline available in pharmacies rather than tap water.

Also, you can take steam inhalations with few drops of eucalyptus oil in it.
