Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
As your doctor examined and told that you are having asthma, I suggest you to use inhaler medication as per the advice.
These drugs are effective in controlling the episodes of asthmatic attacks and in improving quality of life.
Investigations like complete blood picture, sedimentation rate, chest x ray, and pulmonary function tests are required to know the respiratory function.
Therefore I suggest you to consult the physician for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
