Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting the query on XXXXXXX After going through the query, I would like to comment the following:
1.You seem to be suffering from Bronchial asthma with secondary infection at present.
2. You need to get your bronchial asthma evaluated by a Pulmonologist since the symptoms appears to be uncontrolled at present.
3. A detailed evaluation is required which includes - clinical evaluation, chest Xray PA view, sputum examination, Pulmonary function tests (PFT) and blood counts.
4. Your asthma treatment needs to be titrated as per your airway obstruction as measured on PFT. For a bout of secondary infection , a 10 to 14 days course of antibiotic should suffice. Also if you have associated cold, that too needs to be treated.
