Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of wheezing, runny nose and dry cough when diagnosed with asthma which due to inflammation and blockage of sinuses leading to upper respiratory tract infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and go for sinus endoscopy for visualization of sinuses. You should get X-ray chest done along with pulmonary function tests to find out extent of infection and start treatment. Take mucolytic agent or decongestants. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food substances and carbonated beverages. Do chlorhexidine mouth-rinse as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
