How Can Asthma Along With Burning Sensation In The Chest Be Treated?

I have Asthma and have been sick since having an attack while on vacation when exposed to grass & cedar trees, also a wasp sting. I also have a burning in my chest and it gets worse if I eat too much. I run a fever usually in the late afternoon/ evenings. I tire easily, taking naps daily for hours. I went to my pulmonologist when I got back from vacation. He gave me an inhaler with larger daily dose and a script for antibiotics and steroids. I was not well after the first round a he gave me another round of steroids. I called him back after finishing them and wanted to get into see him and stated that I was relocating to Tx. And he refused to see me and told me to find a doctor there and when I asked if he could recommend some one he had no recommendations.

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Here you were given steroid and inhalers to abolish acute asthma attack... Antibiotic also prescribed for cover bacterial infection as fever was present

Here now to prevent subsequent attack of asthma foracort 200 like inhaler (bronchodilator plus steroid) given along with daily record of peak flow by peak flow meter

Avoid stress and smoking like factors

You can investigate with allergy test like patch test to identify allergen and avoid it's exposure

One tsp ginger with honey useful taken daily

Your Auscultation and if needed spirometry done to assess severity of asthma

AEC also counted and if high Allegra M given

So consult pulmonologoist or allergy specialist for examination and prescription accordingly

Take care
