Suggest Remedy For Cough During Asthma
I have mild asthma. Have had a irritated barky cough since July. Got started on atrovent, dulera, singular, , and atrovent for emergencies. After two rounds of abx for sinus infection which exacerbated my symptoms I am still coughing!!! I have a small amount of secretions when I cough which taste yucky and metallic. My bronchi are so irritated I am short of breath and the only thing which slows down my cough is Thessalonians perles and cough drops. What else should I do?

Hi and thanks for the query,
t might be difficult to dissociate the management of cough during an asthmatic crises from the management of asthma itself. It might be important to note that the cough only arises as a reflex due to the underlying mechanisms involved in asthma. Proper management of asthma will lead to decrease and fading out of the cough. It might be important however to exclude complications like infections to take care of them appropriately. Kind regards
