Brief Answer:
Immunotherapy will be helpful in your case.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of asthma is more.
And asthma needs inhaled treatment.
You are not taking fomtide inhaler in correct dosage.
This is the reason for your uncontrolled asthma.
In my opinion, we should first know how severe your asthma is.
For this, you need to get done PFT (pulmonary function test).
On the basis of severity, treatment is guided.
Now a days newer treatment options like immunotherapy, omalizumab etc are available.
So if you permit, I want to ask few questions to guide you further.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
