Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having asthma attack. And infection is the mostcommon cause for asthma attack. So your sore throat may be due to viral infection and this infection caused asthma attack.
Asthma needs chronic therapy.
And newer inhaled bronchodilators are very effective in controlling asthma. Combination of long acting beta 2agonist(LABA) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) Is treatment of choice for asthma control. Their action last for 12 hours so twice daily treatment is needed.
Leukotriene receptor blocker with antihistamines are also used in asthma.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss about these.
