Hi,

Yes definitely these will help in relief from the asthma attack.
Nebulization will relieve the symptoms, Wysalone will decrease the inflammation and allergic response and Augmentin will prevent any secondary bacterial infection from occurring.
I would advise you not to take Augmentin but rather another anti bacterial such as Azithromycin or Clindamycin, this is because Augmentin can rarely cause fetal developmental issues when given in pregnancy.Some studies have shown it to cause cerebral palsy in children when given to pregnant women. So please discuss this with your doctor before taking Augmentin.
It is very important that you control asthma in pregnancy, as uncontrolled asthma can have a lot of negative impact on pregnancy .
Asthma usually improves in third trimester.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
