Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and query and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:
1. First of all, Duolin and Foracort are different types of inhalers, they cannot be compared.
Duolin is a "rescue" type of inhaler which is to be used on as-and-when-needed basis for asthma symptoms. It is not to be used daily/regularly.
Foracort is a "controller" type of inhaler which is to be used regularly.
Choice of type of inhaler can be made only after reviewing your symptoms and other details.
2. I would also like to emphasize that sinusitis and asthma are lined many-a-times. Proper treatment of sinusitis is important for reducing asthma symptoms. Usually I treat sinusitis with regular intranasal corticosteroids, montelukast, levocetirizine, steam inhalation and saline irrigation of nose.
3. I would also suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances causing troubles to you and also to know the measures to avoid them.
4. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will also help you in long run.
5. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.
Hope above suggestions wolves your query.
Should you have nay further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health.
Thank you & Regards.
