Have Asthma. On Inhalers. No Wheezing. Coughing A Lot. Suggestions?
I have asthma and i am on inhalers and i cough a lot and it can trigger anywhere anytime when coughing gets worse i find breathing very difficult i have to use nebulizer but sometimes that also desn't help and even taking water kind of irritates the throat, so whenever i have been admitted in the emergency they have problem linking my symptoms with asthma because i do not wheeze. Once i was dignosed with asthma but due to coughing so bad that it kind of turns bronchitis effected symptoms and then i am on antibiotics and my inhalers . But why do the doctors have so much confusion in my case. please clarify . sometimes they think i do not have asthma.

if reversile use of beta agonists either through nebuliser are inhaler are useful
if it is very severe you need steroid preparations and oxygen inhalation

asthma is allergy in 90% patents and as age increase the inhalers working loose control and they are not able to control it so need to readjust dose
need to go for allergy tests to find the cause it can be medicines soaps shampoo ointmenrt creams body application materials oils cooking oils foods cloth or polen
after getting allergy tets by consulting allergy doctor avoid foods and immunotherapy for pollens
i have treated many pts like
to prevent it from triggering
neomycn h ointment in nose bd
sea water 2 drops at night each nose
you caan use antiallergic tab montelucast in addition to your medicines inhalers
and antiallergic cough syp plus bronchodilator syp can be added
