Hi
Thanks for your query .I have understood your query well .
Asthma is due to hypersensitivity of your airways. The best treatment is to take inhaled steroid such as Meter dose inhaler budesonide twice daily for atleast 3 months. plus if u are having difficulty u can combine with beta 2 agonist like meter dose inhaler salbutamol. In addition to these drugs taking precaution against dust and pollution is must. you should wear breathing mask whenever u get out of home for few months in till your asthma subsides .
Best way is to visit your treating physician and he can advise you correct dosage of inhalers after examining you .
I hope I have addressed your query well .If satisfied kindly close this query with good rating
