Brief Answer:
Immediately consult doctor and start nebulisation.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of acute exacerbation of asthma is more.
And in this situation, intravenous injections of bronchodilator and steroid are useful. Nebulisation with inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) are also very helpful.
So better to consult doctor and get these emergency treatment.
Once this acute event settles, you should start regular controller medicines to prevent future attacks.
For now, consult doctor and discuss all these, start emergency treatment for asthma exacerbation.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
