How Can Asthmatic Bronchitis Be Treated?
My wife was just diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis. She had the same diagnosis three months. I m very worried that her system might build up a tolerance to the medication. Should I be concerned that this happened again within three months? Thank you.

bronchial asthma
and bronchitis they are 2 different condition of Same group of disease
bronchial asthma is hyper reactivity of the airways to an allergen or any stimulus
bronchitis is inflammation of the airway ( long term ) which is present for more than 3 months
if it’s asthma than it’s very common and she needs to be on meds for long term and avoid acute attacks, what does acute attack means - sudden brethlsess ness
if it’s bronchitis than you should just be careful that she is not exposed to any infection or cold as all this factors aggravates
she won’t develop tolerance to any of the medications so don’t worry
just keep a close watch on her breathing and you can avoid all the crisis
don’t hesitate to ask any related questions
would be happy to help
best regards
