Treating For Bronchitis. Pulmonary Specialist Found Having Asthma Attacks. On Nebulizer. Have Wheezing, Musty Smell In Nose
I have a couple of problems. For the last 3 weeks my family doctor has been treating me for bronchitis. I went to a pulmonary specialist this past Friday and found I have been having asthma attacks. I am now on a nebulizer every 4 hours. The wheezing is driving me crazy.
I also have had a musty smell in my nose for the past year or so.....Help...I am going crazy

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these measures for asthmatic patient , these are.
1 Avoidance of mite , dust, hay , pollen , sudden fall & rise of temperature , fine dusting powder ,mold , fine cotton fibers will help in an asthmatic patient .
2 Nebulizer helps but temporarily, so in my opinion consult one more specialist and get his opinion . As in this type of patient I , usually prescribe antihistamine + bronchodilator .
3 Musty smell is actually due to allergy to certain allergens , which are responsible for asthma.
In my opinion consult a pulmonologist and get his opinion ( 2nd).
Good luck. Dr. HET
