Brief Answer:
Drugs are appropriate.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sorry to say but I am still not able to see the chest x ray. This is mostly some technical error.
But no worries as it is normal.
Drugs are appropriate. You should continue with them.
Wait for 5 days. Avoid dust, pollens, smoke, pollution etc. Ask her to wear face mask.
If still not improving after 5 days of treatment then we should start oral long acting bronchodilator (acebrophyllin).
So at present, continue these drugs and wait for 5 days. Tell me her progress after 5 days.
Hope I have solved your query. If you are not having further queries then please close the conversation and rate my answer.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry for asthma.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for asthma. Her IgE level and eosinophil count are normal. She is also not having breathing difficulty. So asthma is less likely in her case.
So better to give the drugs for five days. She will mostly improve with these drugs.
Do let me know if she is not improving after 5 days.
Hope I have solved your query. If you are not having further queries then please close the conversation and rate my answer.
