Welcome to HCM.
Asthma is always aggravate by allergen and seasonal variation is one of the commonest factor.
You have to be always watchful during seasonal changes.
Avoid oily,spicy,chocolates,ice creams and flavored drinks.
Take oral medicines like levocetrizine with montelucast during episodes.
Inhalation therapy is most helpful and more recommended now a days.
You can give bronchodilator and micro dose of steroid by rotacaps and inhalers.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
