Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. I would like to know since when you are using Seroflo inhaler. I would like to mention here that it is a "preventer" type of inhaler which is to be used on regular basis regardless of your symptoms under your doctor's guidance.

Please make sure your technique of using inhaler is perfect as it is very important to ensure delivery of drugs into lungs.

2. I would suggest you allergy testing for common allergy causing air-borne substances - house dust mites, molds, common pollens in your region, insect proteins, pet dander (if you have pets).

This will help you to identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.

3. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually improves your immune system to reduce allergy symptoms over a long period.

4. I would also suggest you to use salbutamol inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis for wheezing/breathlessness symptoms.

5. Regular breathing exercises, physical activities and a healthy nutrition are very important as they improve lung capacity and immunity respectively on long term basis.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
