Suggest Treatment For Asthma And COPD

My wife was diagnosed with asthma and copd. She does budesonide and brovana in a nebulizer 30 minutes apart in morning and night. She cannot walk much more than a100-200 steps before having to stop and rest. Is this normal and is there a better solution for her?richardhoward

Hi thanks for asking question.

Here asthma and copd in your wife seems to be high severity.

Take nebulization with budesonide and levosalbutamol for few days.

Once stable stop nebulization and daily take maintainance therapy with foracort metered dose inhaler.

Monitor record of peak flow by peak flow meter at home side.

Montelukast or other Antihistaminic drug can be taken

Do regular exercise.

Eucalyptus oil added in water as two drop and steam inhalation taken.

Garlic, ginger, onion good for health.

Meanwhile if attack of asthma suddenly comes take nebulization.

I hope my suggestion will be helpful to you.

Regards;
Dr.Parth goswami
