1st week my chest physician prescribed medicines like(Acebrophylline Capsules/Montegress-Tx 120 & Reswas syrup),after continuing 5 days no major improvement seen ,then he done a PFT test with a remark as "MILD OAD & EXCELLENT BDR) as per the report,prescribed same medicine with additional medicine called FORACORT-200 for 15 days, and said this is an asthma.
After continuing these medicine again for 10 days no major improvement seen,so my question is this disease takes time for healing or is there other test or better medicine can be tried.
Medicine continues as:

Montegress-Tx 120 once daily
Reswas syrup-Thrice daoly and FORACORT-200 twice daily.
