Hello
Mold produces allergy and this allergy caused by mold produces bronchoconstriction and this causes whistling sound during breathing ( inhaling or exhaling ) , wheeze , shortness in breath .
As mold cause allergy and allergy is a predisposing factor causing asthma .
When such patient visit I advise my patient to take monteleukast+ fexofandine tablet one or two in day depending on the condition of patient and symptoms .
I also advise my patient to take dextromethophan+ chlorpheniramine maleat + mentol cough syrup.
If breathlessness also present ( shortness of breath ) I advise my patient to take monteleukast + bambuterole tablet in place of above mentioned tablet .
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide instant relief.
Hope this will help you.
Good luck.
