Hello and thank you for submitting your question.
Your question is a good one and I will provide you with some information and recommendations here.
I have to say that the symptoms you have described make me suspicious that you have a very mild degree of asthma. While you may not have a history of chronic asthma in the past sometimes if your lungs become inflamed from exposure to a virus or perhaps pollen or dust this can create what we refer to as reactive airway. This type of thing can be treated very easily with a prescription inhaler.
The most common in Hillero that we used to treat this type of thing is called albuterol. I realize that it is now the weekend and it is probably very difficult for you to a pain medical care outside of visiting and urgent care center or emergency room. If your symptoms are continuing without improving I recommend that you do visit one of these facilities to have a federal consultation as well as examination. The medical provider may then consider providing you with an inhaler.
I thank you very much again for submitting your question. I hope you have found this to be a helpful forum If you have any additional follow-up concerns I would be happy to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robert
