What Medicine Can I Take For Asthma And Drop In Platelet Count Post Chemotherapy For Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma?

I just finished chimo for nhl (indolent). I received Bendamustine plus anti-bodies, during this period, my blood numbers were always between the norm however since my last treatment my red cels and my platellets are low almost to the point of tranfusion. Also, my potasium is low so I was prescribed pills. At this time I am affected by asthma (first time since Chimo). I take flovent but the relief is insufficient, can I take something else such as benadryl or claritain? Thanks, Jacques.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, for the asthmatic attack the best medicine is "montilucast" twice a day this will give excellent result, now for the platelet count the best drug is "Prednisolone" but looking to your clinical history it would be better to have word with doctor, although this being administered with chemo therapy safely still the opinion is must, have nice day.
