Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history of Old and cough leading to asthma and breathing problems too for the last one and half years. Doctor has prescribed ortimax 6 mg which is very effective in controlling the symptoms but increases body heat and also causes constipation. The symptoms return if you stop this medication. I would suggest you the following: You can increase fibers in diet. Take plenty of oral fluids. Try different laxatives at different nights to find the most suitable one to counter the constipation and other problems associated with. You can try steroid nasal spray and inhalers so that the requirements of oraledication is reduced. Take multivitamins and therapeutic dosages of vitalins A and D. You will be benefitted well.
