Suggest Treatment For Coughing With Asthma Attacks
I have exercise induced asthma, which has never been a huge problem for me until now. I have no health insurance and I am sick with a pretty bad cough. Every once in a while I get to coughing so badly that I have an attack and I can't breath or stop coughing enough to use my inhaler. To add to that the inhaler I am using is like 5 years over the expiration date. So what I am wondering; is there any way to fix these problems without health insurance?

First don't use any medicine beyond its expiry date.
If u are having asthma or its like symptoms with consistant cough then there may be chances of chronic bronchitis.
U should start antibiotics with other supportive treatment while continuing your asthma inhalers but first u go to pulmonologist and get diagnosed yourself.
