The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to acute exacerbation of asthma, secondary to a respiratory tract infection.
Management involves: 1. A course of antibiotics to eradicate the causative organism. 2. Asthalin & Seroflo inhaler- provide symptomatic relief by causing broncho-dilation (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs) Can be used during an acute attack. 3. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of asthma. 4. Antihistamine & anti tussive preparations for symptomatic relief from cough. 5. Maintain adequate hydration & a healthy balance diet. 6. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.
