Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 22 years old. I have a heaving cough and throat infection, and also heavy breathing and weakness. It has been a month, but it does not go away.

Answered by Dr. Pratyush Kumar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

According to your complaints, it could be an acute exacerbation of asthma. You should take nebulization with Asthalin (Salbutamol) thrice daily and Budesonide twice daily. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. Depending on the other medicines which you are taking, an appropriate adjustment needs to be done. You should consult your physician and get yourself clinically examined. Thank you and take care. Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
