General & Family Physician,  's  Response
if your symptoms are persistent ,and you are not comfortable with your current treatment ,it will be a good idea to see your pulmonologist or physician ,and stay in touch with your doctor till you are satisfied.

for immediate relief in case of asthma 1st line drug is short acting beta agonist like salbutamol or asthalin. it can be taken as nebulization or metered dose inhaler. Other drugs are anticholinergics ,long acting beta agonist and steroids.

please discuss with your doctor and make sure the treatment suits your requirements.

in addition to medicine you can try and stay away from allergens. Vacuuming your carpets, stay away from rugs, dust etc . decreasing trigger also keeps symptoms at bay.

please feel free to contact again if your doubts are not clear.
