Hello
Diagnosis is established and your son is taking nebulizer and other medicines for asthma.
Still he feel tightness or congestion in the chest .
ASTHMA sufferers may complains of s variety of symptoms , none of which is specific for asthma .
Wheeze, shortness of breath, cough , chest tightness .
Since your son is still having tightness in chest , it means either diagnosis is wrong or drugs are not acting in proper way.
When such patient visit my clinic I advise them to take monteleukast+ bambuterole tablet once or twice in a day depending upon the severity of disease or symptoms .
I also advise them to take terbutalin+ guaiphenesin+ ambroxol+ menthol syrup 2 T S F two times in a day.
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also help in this type of cases.
Since this is a prescription medicine so please consult a physician and get his prescription.
Good luck.
