the best option in this case would be short course of steroids. orally
or if there are contraindications you can try for bronchodilator inhalers or nembulisation
if bronchodilator does not help you can use steroidal inhalers or nembulisation which have less side effects than oral steroids
this is the only option in your case as the stage suggests
