Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should not take calestamine. It is having oral steroid. And this can be harmful to you.
Yes, possibility of asthma or allergic bronchitis is more.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out other lung pathology.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of asthma is based on severity only.
You will need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Oral combination of antihistamine and anti allergic drugs are also indicated in your case.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
