Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:
1. As your asthma is not well controlled at present, I would suggest you
salbutamol inhaler for asthma symptoms/wheezing/breathing difficulty at present for 5-7 days depending upon response.
2. If you have associated nose symptoms - nose congestion,
sneezing, nasal discharge, etc, I would also add
montelukast +
levocetirizine in your treatment.
3. If there is no improvement despite using salbutamol inhaler, your doctor may prescribe you a short course of
corticosteroids.
4. Regarding improving your asthma, I would need more details about your health like - your age, weight, frequency of asthma symptoms, any nose symptoms, any digestive symptoms, any allergies, any skin allergies, medications used previously, etc. Such details would help me to know more about you and therefore to make more specific suggestions.
5. For patients with frequent asthma attacks, I usually prescribe regular medications and inhalers like montelukast, inhaled corticosteroids, etc.
6. I would also suggest you
spirometry which measures your lung capacity as well as
allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, pollens, insect proteins, animal dander, etc which will help you to know the substances you may be allergic to.
7. In addition, regular physical exercises including breathing exercises and a nutritive diet rich in vitamins & minerals will also help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity respectively. Please have adequate amount of fluids to maintain hydration.
8. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.
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.
