Recommend Curative Medications For Sneezing & Wheezing

I am aged 25 and I get sneezing during change in climatic conditions which is followed by wheezing. I take celestone and ascoril which cures my wheezing. My doctor has further advised me to take L montus for 20 days. But I am doubtful because I want to take medicine that is curative and not something that just treats the symptoms. Plus what will be the side effects of the tablet. Do I really need to take it ?

Hello dear,

Wheezing is caused due to broncho-constriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages, indicative of asthma or seasonal allergy.

Management consists of:
1. Asthalin+ Seroflo inhaler- provide symptomatic relief by causing broncho-dilation (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)
So, it can be used during an acute attack.
2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of asthma/ seasonal allergy.
3. Antihistamines like Cetrizine can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.
4. Need for anti biotics can arise if there is a secondary infection. But this should be taken only under the guidance of your Physician.
5. Avoid exposure to cold, dust or other allergens.

This condition is related to the hyper-sensitivity of the immune response.
It can only be managed symptomatically.
Complete cure will need complete shut down of the immune mechanism, which will make you prone for severe life-threatening secondary infections.
So, it is advisable to kindly continue the medications as prescribed by your treating Doctor.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
